Zotero - "software to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources"

Hi all, I've just downloaded Zotero and I'm going to give it a try over the next few weeks. I was wondering if anyone has been using Zotero, and if so how they find it? I was also wondering if there were similar software tools out there.

Endnote would be recognised as one of the best, although you have to pay for it.

http://www.endnote.com/

I'd say your uni would have a licence for it. TCD, for example, gives everyone a free copy of the software.

EDIT: unless you are using LaTeX - then jabref is probably best

Yeah, it sounds pretty much like Endnote...

The current version is Endnote X2, though I have it on good authority that it's a fairly annoying program to use. I use Endnote X1 and find it very easy and very much invaluable. Let us know how you get on with Zotero though.
