    Interesting....... 'All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.' George Orwell, with his breezy advocacy of a very British 'common sense', often seems as much crackpot as savant.

    We skipped over this, but for anyone who needs to manage data about lots of resources in different formats (eg books, links, PDFs, journal articles), Zotero is a very powerful free tool which grabs bibliographic data or metadata from anywhere and manages it for you. Can output bibliographies in all the usual styles. An alternative to EndNote or RefWorks.
