Explain which popular software draws comparison because of the common features to Zoteros interface and why you believe this to be true (or not).

Now that you have seen what type of information is out on the web, how do you take advantage of it? An online tool called Zotero permits users to collect, organize, cite, and share… research sources (About Zotero, 2012) by functioning as an extension to Firefox, Mozillas open source web browser.

Hopefully you are all using Firefox to benefit from this tool. If not, you will need to install the software from Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/).You will also need to install Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/).

Now go visit two websites or online documents and capture the information using Zotero. I have an example for you to see:

Sifferlin, A. (2012, February 22).Zombie Apocalypse! An iPhone App Keeps You Running for Your Life | Healthland |TIME.com. Retrieved February 22, 2012, from http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/22/zombies-bad-for-brains-good-for-workouts/?hpt=he_c2

Demonstrate your ability to capture information and properly cite it using APA format.
