Resources We Used for This Project
Creating the Resource ListZotero - A Personal Research Assistant Inside Your Browser The Resources page was created with Zotero. Zotero is an easy to use Firefox(c) extension that helps you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. Once you download it, it becomes part of your Firefox browser and lives right at the bottom panel for easy access whenever you need it. Zotero is a diverse tool that enables you to do the following:
This is a typical Zotero Interface. On the left there is a list of resource collections. In the middle the items of a selected collection are displayed and in the right section the details of a selected item from the middle items will be listed. It also has buttons that allow an automatic capture of web pages, images, etc into the collection. Additional buttons are available for other sources, such as book, journals, etc. You can also specify what bibliographic style you are interested in, such as The American Psychological Association (APA) or Modern Language Association (MLA) and thousands others. In order to create the resource list on the right, I have opened my Zotero from the lower panel of my Firefox browser and at the same time had a Google Document open. From within the middle section of Zotero, I started dragging each item on the list of my resource collection to the empty Google document. The citations were automatically created using the specific bibliographic style I picked. Just like magic. This is a really great tool and saves so much time and aggravation trying to figure out how exactly to cite the resource to abide by the rules of the bibliographic style. | Escape of the Pearl - Bibliography1 |
