Crickey, you wait months for a blog posts and then a number greater than one come along practically simultaneously. I'm bored writing about JSTOR (I'm not really), so I'll write about Zotero, as there are two interesting developments on that front.
The first is the release of ZotPad, which is the more astute of you will have correctly deduced is an app that brings Zotero functionality to your iPad. It is limited in that as yet, it provides read-only access to data and attachments stored on the Zotero
server and allows the user to browse items by libraries and
collections. Downloading and viewing the following file types is
supported: PDF, MS Office , iWork , RTF, plain text, csv, and images. You will also need a Zotero account and to have stored your data on the Zotero server (which may well be a safer storage place than your PC or laptop. Zotpad will cost you $5.99 (yes $) if you feel that that this app is the thing for you.
Perhaps of more significance is the release of Zotero 3.0, the first version of Zotero that is not dependent on Firefox. Zotero 3.0 will work standalone or can integrate into Google Chrome and Apple Safari. It will, of course, work in Firefox if that's what you prefer. The release also has some new features, including deduplication, better word processor integration and greater compatibility with other reference management software. You can download Zotero 3.0 for Windows, Mac and Linux, and I for one will be downloading Zotero 3.0 after I finish typing this.
