I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool.  haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information. 

I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.

This is a really handy website which I use both personally and professionally. I am really keen on the idea of using fiction to help teach history. I think reading historical fiction helps bring history 'alive' and stimulates an interest in finding out more. Even if the book is not 100% correct it doesn't matter as discovering this is part of the learning process and encourages critical thinking.

That's fantastic! Thanks.

The Conversation is an independent source of information, analysis and commentary from the university and research sector. The articles are well balanced, edgy and very well written.

I love this publication too! It covers so many international stories and issues that don't make it into mainstream news. Thanks for sharing the link to this site Cheryl. I've marked your Diigo assignment as complete on Lore.
