    Create and share media very easily with this great web publishing tool. Easy to share your passion, create topic pages or subject guides you have previously researched for your students. Even a way students can show their research.

    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. 
  • Michelle Johns on 19 Nov 12
     
    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.

    Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".
