Since when I was referred to Zotero by one of my teachers, my bibliography management has turned to be pretty easy and fast. Specially when surfing the web and i can save the bibligraphic info just by few clicks, later exporting references and using with Endnote makes everything just ready to use and cite in my documents. Here it is in short steps how I am working with references using Zotero. there might be other ways or shortcut, but as i hv not researched about it, here is how I am working with it. and so far i am quite happy about it.
1. Zotero is a Firefox plug in. when installed it appears at the bottom in the status bar of your browser.
2. When searching articles in Acm digital library, if you click on the display format “Endnote” and the reference will be saved in zotero.
3. Select a number of references that you want to export and create an endnote library. Right click mouse and ->export selected items -> Refer/BibIX format
4. It will be saved as a text file. say aaa.txt
5. Create an endnote file, open the file and from File -> import-> aaa.txt
6. choose Refer/BibIX as import option
Done!
all references are in the Endnote library ready to use and cite!
