Thanks for sharing! The iPad is truly amazing. I have always been a big fan of mac products. I am in the process of learning more about the iPad. It is a simple device and yet there is quite a bit to learn on it.

There are also repositories which often allow non-peer reviewed submissions, but also are set up to make it easy to generate formatted citations to the deposited papers

Comment on If timing is everything by Anne-Marie

Hey Jeremy. Papers costs money and is mac-only so it’s not appropriate for my class on a few levels. I do use it myself to organize PDFs, though, and wish that I could go back and forth between computer and iPad as easily with Zotero as I can with Papers. Mendeley is another matter. I haven’t played with it extensively for a while, but probably should again.

One of my main learning goals with Zotero in ENG 200 is about metadata — it is so transparent about pulling in metadata from many places that there can be “lightbulb” moments when students realize that they can pull the metadata from Amazon or where ever, even if they didn’t find the thing there. I know how to teach that using Zotero and like the way that workflow supports that learning.

We’ve started Mendeley workshops here this year and the people who use it more than I do say that it doesn’t play as nicely with Ebsco as Zotero does, and that’s where the main database for English is in our collection – so there’s another reason. But I’ll play with it more myself and offer it as an option to students who aren’t feeling Zotero.

So, just out of curiosity, are you looking at tools such as Mendeley (or even the mac-only Papers) that also support research activity in the same space as Zotero, but perhaps are more robust than Zotero?

Just read the article. The tone is casual and inviting for the audience and the illustrations (both narrative and visual ) are clear and helpful. Congratulations!
