I (Todd) hate gathering, reading, citing, and keeping track of sources for research. In principle it is fine, but the process can be a pain because you have to find good sources, glean relevant info, remember which source had which useful bit, and then put all the citations in the paper, keeping track of numbering and bibliography formatting. One of the worst parts of high school English was putting your works cited together. Without further adieu, I introduce zotero. It makes the entire process easier. For those of you who know the feeling, go check it out and tell me what you think.
ps. I desperately avoid paying for anything on computers, so of course it's free, unlike Endnote.
