<p>Tim, <br>
</p>
<p>We use Zotero (through ZotPress) for publishing to our WordPress
site, but use EndNote as the backend database, periodically
updating Zotero from it... (Liz, let me know if you want a copy of
my instructions for updating Zotero from EndNote). I had
considered using Zotero so PI's could enter their own
publications, but soon realized that dealing with the duplicates,
misspellings and other problems meant as much editing time as my
data entry time if I do it myself (my latest ploy, use Google
Scholar to find the pub, then download the Endnote Citation record
for import). <br>
</p>
<p>For Research.gov we've used a modified output filter in
EndNote.... It requires customization because Research.gov is very
picky about text (ask Margaret for details). Let me know if you
want to see the EndNote filter.....</p>
<p>At the network level, I'd need to get an idea from the PI's and
students as to how they would like to use a network-wide
bibliography. I think a major use tends to be for counts of
publications in different categories for reports, but I don't know
that too many people would actually just be browsing the
bibliography. <br>
</p>
<p>Given the good web services API for Zotero we might be able to
create composite bibliographies relatively automatically - just by
sharing the API Key for site bibliographies with the LTER
Biblioczar..... But that assumes everyone is OK with Zotero and we
can actually find a Biblioczar! :)</p>

<div>I'm interested in this. I've got a zotero account (under
my own name) that includes a lot of publications from legacy
projects and background info. I've also got it wired into our
WordPress site. We don't do anything fancy. No subset
collections etc. Our main goal is just to have a
comprehensive list that can be searched. <br>
</div>

<div>I guess I'm most interested in how to divvy those up for
official LTER stuff. And I hadn't thought of how to use it
with <a href="http://research.gov" moz-do-not-send="true">research.gov</a>.
Our PIs use EndNote completely separately from my efforts, and
it would be nice to merge them somehow. </div>

these questions.</div>

For example, for non-peer-reviewed conference

and you should use Proceedings Title instead of
Conference Name since Conference Name doesn't import
into <a href="http://research.gov" target="_blank"
