So how would you say this compares with Citeulike? I had been using citeulike for its pdf managing ability, but you have to download them to your PC and then upload again onto citeulike. Zotero's new interface sounds much more seemless! Hooray! Sweeeet! So how would you say this compares with Citeulike?

Zotero makes a great tool for me to store and refer back to the docs I need. I am back in college and many of the papers I deal with on the web are in PDF form.

While I agree that it's way better than EndNote when it comes to grabbing stuff off the web & I like *in theory* the ability to annotate .pdfs, (in practice, I still prefer the printed version & my pen), I have found that it starts to slow down quite significantly the more that I have in it. I've therefore started to use it to gather web refs & then transfer them to EndNote & delete them from Zotero. I also have had a look at CiteULike - which scores over Zotero for its social aspects, but looses, as I find that the page I'm viewing vanishes & I get the CiteULike page instead - so I can't copy & paste the information that should be picked up. That could be my Firefox settings, but most other similar things (e.g. iKeepbookmarks, subwithBloglines etc) create a new tab, so I am inclined to blame CiteULike! It also stores them online, which is handy as I use several computers round the place (I can hook into my University Storage to get to my EndNote files), whereas I end up with several Zotero files - one on each PC. If, however, Zotero is going to have a social feature, I guess that will involve some kind of online storage, so I can see me getting keener on it in the future (especially when Flock is based on Firefox 2 - as Flock is my preferred browser :)) I got very keen on Zotero at one point, but I’ve had a few problems.

Version X supports both linking to OpenUrlk resolvers, so if you don't have the full text you can dump the citation information into your local tool and see if you have access to the full text. You do have to configure this for your local resolver and you have to link from the full record display in EndNote rather than the list. You can also drag and drop the pdf into the citation. Again you have to save the pdf to the desktop and then drag it into the record and then delete it from the desktop but it does allow you to use Endnote to function as your personal digial depository for PDF's. It still doesn't handle capturing web pages and/or managing bookmarks very well (Endnote web and Endnote X have a capture tool which doesn't work very well). I use Furl.net for this and will try the new version of Zotero to see how it all goes together. I really don’t see the problem that users are having with EndNote.

The first and best tool that I have found for this integration was OnFolio which worked with EndNote for the citation aspects, but it has all but disappeared since being purchased by Microsoft. I am somewhat curious about a new product -- Quosa, but it seems cost prohibitive for all but STM folks. I would disagree with you if it weren’t for Microsoft.
