Reference Management

A program you might find a useful alternative or adjunct to Endnote is Zotero. Use this to gether references on the internet. You have to use Mozilla Firefox as your web browser then download Zotero as an add-in. Zotero will improt references much the same way Endnote does, however you don't have to keep telling it where your Endnote librbary is. When you've finished searching you can download the job lot of references into Endnote. This can be useful when you are doing lots of literature searching as it avoids that tedious extra step.
