[Air-l] Open source bibliography database

[Christian Nelson]

just a few days ago, someone on the list posted a "technology 
evangelist" job for a project named zotero. Curiosity piqued, I went to 
the site - www.zotero.org - and found this out about Zotero:

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use research tool that helps you gather and 
organize resources (whether bibliography or the full text of articles), 
and then lets you to annotate, organize, and share the results of your 
research. It includes the best parts of older reference manager 
software (like EndNote)—the ability to store full reference information 
in author, title, and publication fields and to export that as 
formatted references—and the best parts of modern software such as 
del.icio.us or iTunes, like the ability to sort, tag, and search in 
advanced ways. Using its unique ability to sense when you are viewing a 
book, article, or other resource on the web, Zotero will—on many major 
research sites—find and automatically save the full reference 
information for you in the correct fields.

In short, Zotero looks really cool.
Perhaps I should look into that "technology evangelist" job their 
offering, eh?
