Journalism for the 21st Century: Zotero, Diigo and Research
Using diigo and zotero together.

Diigo is good if you want to save websites of interest, and then access them from any computer. It does not provide the automatic bibliography of Zotero, but the user could simply save his bookmarks, return to the sites, hit the Zotero button and the problem is quickly solved. Diigo also features a highlighting tool that allows the user to select text from the site and write comments. If the user is logged in to Diigo and returns to the site, the highlights and comments remain. It it also somewhat useful if you want to find websites related to a certain topic that you are interested in. However, finding academic type articles or journal entires in a person's bookmarks is rare.

EasyBib: a basic bibliography/citation maker. Works through an on-line interface to build a reference list, which you can then export to MS Word or another word processing programme in RTF. If you register, you can save multiple reference lists online and share them with other users and such. I didn’t register (even though it’s free), so I can’t vouch for whether or not this works well. Major drawback is that it only builds bibliographies in MLA style. A cool feature is if you’re citing a book and you have the ISBN, EasyBib can automatically populate the reference fields for you.
