Citation Software: Tired of Manually Organizing Your Citations?
We understand that creating and organizing citations can be a challenge, so we have reviewed the three most popular free online citation software programs.
Mendeley Institutional Edition
Offer a better service to your researchers at the same time as giving you access to all-important usage data with the powerful Mendeley Institutional Edition, powered by Swets. At a time when online search engines offer academics unprecedented access to content from a huge range of different sources, and almost unlimited collaboration opportunities, it falls to libraries to increase their level of service if they are to remain at the heart of the research community. We offer sophisticated technology that allows you to do just that, in the form of the hugely popular Mendeley Institutional Edition (MIE), powered by Swets. A key part of the selection management process, MIE gives you the real-time content usage insights you need in order to be able to make the best decisions on whether to renew, cancel or change content to a different format.

Pearltrees
We ask you, humbly: don't scroll away. Hi reader. This is the 2nd time we’ve interrupted your reading recently, but 98% of our readers don't give. Many think they’ll give later, but then forget. This Thursday we ask you to protect Wikipedia. All we ask is , or what you can afford, to secure our future.
APA style guide - Part 1
The APA Manual began in 1929 as an article to discuss the form of journal manuscripts. By 1952 the guidelines were issued as a separate document called the Publication Manual. Today, the manual is in its sixth edition, and the APA format is a widely recognized standard for many forms of writing.
MindMapping
Are you using mind mapping tools such as MindManager, FreeMind or XMind? And reference management tools such as JabRef, Endnote, or Zotero? And do you sometimes even create bookmark in PDFs?
Découvrir Zotero en 4 heures : retours sur la formation du 8 juin 2011
Comment former efficacement à Zotero en une demi-journée ? Cette question nous nous la posons maintenant depuis quelques années... L'objectif de ce billet est de dresser un petit bilan de la formation que Franziska et moi avons organisée à l'université Paris Ouest début juin. Dans le cadre de la formation aux outils informatiques pour les historiens, nous procédons en deux temps : formation "magistrale" de deux heures (mise en contexte, normes bibliographiques, démonstration et présentation des fonctionnalités principales de Zotero) ; application pratique en salle informatique de deux heures (un peu moins compte tenu du temps nécessaire au démarrage des machines...). Le 8 juin dernier, nous étions donc à Nanterre pour former un groupe de doctorants venus de plusieurs écoles doctorales (le tutoriel réalisé à cette occasion est toujours disponible ici).

How to choose the best online citation tools « Fourcultures
Just as I finally get used to loving Zotero, it looks like Mendeley is set to claim my heart. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, these are on-line citation tools for academic research and writing. They use various different methods for collecting and manipulating metadata relating to books, journals, papers and websites – and then linking it all together automagically. They hold out the promise of automating activities that until now have been painstaking and laborious for researchers, and of creating new opportunities for collaboration that never existed before. But there is a down side.
