Software
Software applications have been developed to make referencing easier for researchers. This software usually automatically takes the full bibliographic details (and the full text, if possible), of useful literature and sources from the internet (or they can be entered manually) and stores them on the user's computer.
Then, when writing up the research, the user can just insert the reference into the text where s/he wants it and the full bibliographic details will also be inserted into the Reference List at the end of the document in MS Word.
These applications can use any referencing system and will alter the references automatically, accordingly.
For the purposes of this Guide we will describe one such software system, called Zotero. This is compatible with almost all the online journal databases in CIT Library and it is free to download from the internet. It is described in details in Section 4 of this Guide.
ZOTERO is available free to download from www.zotero.org.
ZOTERO is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
ZOTERO is an Add On to the Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser and when you download it, it is attached to Firefox and appears as an add on item on the status bar of the application (on the bottom right of your screen)
Question:
True or False, ZOTERO is the only online referencing system?
