Zotero is the brainchild of a team of digital historians at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University: Dan Cohen, Josh Greenberg, Simon Kornblith, David Norton and Dan Stillman. Their basic goal was to create a freely available, open source tool that would put the essential functions of standalone bibliography software like Endnote into the Firefox browser. Since we already spend most of the day reading and writing in our browsers (e-mail, blogging, newsfeeds, online journals, e-books, library catalogs, etc.) this makes a lot of sense. Like commercially available packages, Zotero allows you to create and cite from a database of primary and secondary references of various types (books, newspaper articles, journal articles, and so on). Instead of starting a separate program, however, you can enter records as you browse library catalogs (e.g., Library of Congress, WorldCat), bookstores (Amazon.com) and many other websites.
