ProfHacker 101: Getting started with Zotero. Here at ProfHacker, we’ve written quite a bit about organization. In addition to course materials and materials for our dossiers, we need to keep good track of our research materials and notes. A number of commercial tools exist for this purpose. EndNote is probably the best known of these tools, and is available in both Windows and Mac versions. Windows users might also choose ProCite, and Mac users have Sente and Bookends available to them. RefWorks is an online alternative. I’ve had some experience with EndNote and Sente, and both work as advertised; others will have to chime in on the other options (and I’m sure there are tools I haven’t mentioned). Why?

Some of our earliest posts covered teaching with Zotero groups and making your WordPress blog Zotero-able (although we can’t control whether it’s “zo terrible” <rimshot>). And of course, there’s Amy’s fantastic two-part series on getting started with Zotero (parts one and two). The folks at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (who make Zotero) are friends of ProfHacker, and we got one of our earliest boosts from their Digital Campus podcast. That’s why I feel a little sheepish about making the following confession: while I admire and proselytize for Zotero, I actually use EndNote for my own research.
A few weeks ago, ProfHacker got a request asking us if we could compare the two platforms, which gave me a great opportunity to try to figure out why I prefer EndNote. Apart from my own level of comfort, however, I wanted to know what the differences were between the two tools. Zotero EndNote Return to Top. TeXt ex machina | Communication strategies for humans.
