Zotero goes standalone

The library promotes the use of Zotero as a utility for management of citations and bibliographies, to the extent that we now run occasional classes in its use. Its one notional disadvantage, until now, is that it is only available for the Firefox Internet browser. That disadvantage is no more as Zotero is now available as a standalone product. One caveat, this is an alpha release (you may recall I mentioned that mobile JSTOR is a beta release: beta is better than alpha when it comes to the Greek alphabet and software development). Alpha releases, because they are test releases have the potential to do bad things, such as cause crashes or data loss or leave the fridge door open at night so that all your chilled food goes off. Hence do bear that in mind. Zotero though is fantastic and well worth using for your assignments and dissertations.
