[Air-L] the best way to archive web material?

[Dan Perkel]

Hi Sarah,

I have also been using Zotero pretty extensively as a part of my research,
like Adi noted earlier, not as intended as a bibliographic reference tool,
but as a tool to take snapshots of web pages as I experienced them, organize
them, annotate them, and tag them for later use. I have not experimented
with archiving these online for various reasons but there is a way to sync
with an online database of your materials.

My experience has been mostly positive, but there are somethings that are
worth considering before you dive to deeply. Feel free to contact me
directly if you have any questions.

Regards,

Dan
