Cool clip Enbar, thanks! Though I've been using Scholar's Aid for a very long time, I'll definitely give a look at these too.

We’ve briefly mentioned <A title="BibMe" href="http://www.bibme.org/">BibMe</A> and <A title="LibraryThing" href="http://www.librarything.com/">LibraryThing</A> in the past (<A href="http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/interview/library-thing">eHub Interviews LibraryThing</A>), but let’s explore them further, as well as <A title="Zotero" href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</A>, a “next generation research tool”.

Like its commercial competitors, BibMe has an extensive search function that can find and generate a detailed citation by entering a few keywords. Registration is simple and non-intrusive, and once you have an account you can save and edit your bibliographies.

A tool I have also used to create citations is <A title="Zotero" href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</A>, a Firefox 2.0 (must be 2.0+) extension developed by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/app/tools-for-researchers-and-book-lovers/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.emilychang.com/img/FFCD0D64-E01C-48FB-AF28-4E28C5F35A8D" alt="image" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/app/tools-for-researchers-and-book-lovers/"><P>
