<p>Tim, <o:p></o:p></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). <o:p></o:p></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.....<o:p></o:p></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. <o:p></o:p></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! :)<o:p></o:p></p>
