-Tony Hoffman, [[http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2090813,00.asp | "The Best Free Software,"]] //PC Magazine// 20 February 2007: 68.  A roundup of the best "tried-and-true" free applications on the web.  Zotero is singled out by //PC Magazine// as a must-have Firefox extension.  "Our recommendations are the apps that real people use everyday, at work and at home, for all kinds of tasks . . . They're tried and tested, the best tools you can get---and they're all free."

 ====Quotations====
+"Zotero is as slick as any commercial product, the documentation is deep and tasty with lots of nicely done screencasts and the developer info is some of the best Open Source project docs I’ve seen."
+"in a word, WOW."  Professor Cathy Davidson at [[http://www.hastac.org/node/947|Haystac]]
+"Zotero is the most useful tool ever created. I am not exaggerating."
+[[http://beautifulmuslimah.wordpress.com/2007/06/03/you-must-have-zotero/|Maha Abdo]] a relationship counselor with the Australian Muslim Women’s Association
+"I was definitely impressed with the layout and usability of the configuration options. Very well thought out and intuitive." [[http://www.dcs-media.com/technology/fireday/fireday-firefox-extension-reviews-for-october-26-2007.aspx|Jonathan Danylko]] of DCS Media
+"It is a polished piece of work, another instance of quality programming in the free -- libre -- open-source software arena....This is going to save a lot of people a lot of time." Psychiatrist at a community hospital posting at [[http://scienceblogs.com/corpuscallosum/2007/09/bibliography_tool_zotero.php|Corpus Callosum]]
+"I like the light-weight approach (compared to software solutions such as Endnote), the browser integration and thus platform independence. It’s free, of course. Felix at [[http://www.languagelabunleashed.com/2007/08/28/zotero/|Language Lab Unleashed]]
+"Zotero is free, and it runs right on your browser. It works both as an online backpack and a personal library, first capturing the references that you find on the Internet, and then organizing them into a file system."
+Librarian [[http://news.hsl.virginia.edu/?p=77|Kelly Near]]
+"The user interface is a joy! No need to enter editing mode or save changes! It downloads in a few seconds (if you are using Firefox, which you should)...This is how software should work. Go get it!"[[http://gustafbrandberg.com/2007/05/14/powertool-for-handling-references-zotero/|Gustaf Brandberg]], a Digital Business Managament Consultant at TietoEnator Digital Innovations
+"Zotero, a break-through project out of George Mason University, promises to make digital metadata much more a part of the daily lives of scholars. Zotero is a free, open source, citation tool that plugs into the Firefox browser. It scans every webpage you view, ranging from weblog posts to articles in JSTOR, and looks for metadata. It uses this metadata to automatically capture bibliographic reference information. That saves researchers a great deal of tedium and reduces annoying typographic errors in building up their reference databases." Archaeologist [[http://www.alexandriaarchive.org/blog/?p=56|Eric Kansa]]
+"But speaking of peace, I have discovered the solution to world peace. It is called Zotero. This little Firefox plugin will streamline the management of research like never before. I have been looking for a tool like this for ages now, and it beats renaming PDF documents to somehow reflect the year, title and authors in one foul swoop. The ability to tag documents also takes away the limitations imposed by dropping said document into a single directory, where it should actually appear at three different spots in your research category hierarchy. I bet that the people who pushed so hard for multi-disciplinary research hardly took into account the impact of ordering references by mere mortals (i.e. post-graduate students)."

+"What could be hotter than Johnny Depp, you ask? The answer is: the sexiest, awesomest citation manager ever.... It not only solves the problem of having to switch between Word, a reference manager, and your browser, and cut-and-paste and retype things manually, and it lets you keep track of lots and lots of information and organize it in ways that let you make better use of it. In short, leaps and bounds better than anything that existed before. Big step forward in helping us do better research, and helping humanity, and all that warm fuzzy stuff that I sincerely believe in, and the kind of thing that I want to (after I’m finally out of school) help make happen." Human-computer interaction student blogging at [[http://empiricalinsanity.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/break-from-the-usual-friday-the-hottest-thing-since-johnny-depp/|empirical insanity]]
+"Zotero is making me super happy this week. It's a plugin for Firefox that acts as a super-awesome research assistant, sort of like del.cio.us on crack. Rumor has it that once you're done researching, it can even build you a bibliography, which is freaking awesome. Highly recommended." Author [[http://www.electrolicious.com/archives/2007/05/i_loves_me_a_good_to.html| Ariel Meadow Stallings]]
 "If you write and use citations and references in your writing (lawyers, that would be you), you need Zotero... It’s totally free, open source, and completely awesome... I expect that Zotero will be the new standard in research/reference management" [[http://www.gotbrandy.com/2007/03/why-you-need-to-use-zotero-right-no.html | Brandy Karl]], an independent copyright,  trademark and business attorney in Boston.
