Based on your last post, it sounds like you are an Endnote user? I suggest changing your software… there’s quite a few really great options for reference management these days. I just talked about this yesterday with Michelle and I think you could benefit too.\u00a0 If you aren’t familiar with them, Zotero (www.zotero.org<\/a>) and Mendeley (www.mendeley.com<\/a>) are both potentially good for you. I don’t think you are a mac person, but if you are then BibDesk is spectacular.<\/p>\n Zotero is a favorite among many ecologists (including Steph)- it’s easy to add refs to your library from websites, and you can share groups. It interfaces quite well with Firefox. Mendeley is great for organizing PDFs, and has a desktop application that many people like for its ability to organize. It’s good if you primarily use a single computer for your work. You can also create groups with Mendeley. Groups would be good for us since we are staying in contact remotely.<\/p>\n I’m happy to discuss this more with you via chat. In any case, I encourage you to ditch Endnote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Based on your last post, it sounds like you are an Endnote user?
