Notes on Reference organization strategy

• Experimenting with Zotero to organize citations; testing a Zotero ICP-Biotech group library
• Export later into a SIMILE citeline
• Zotero can convert references into the mediawiki citation format by drag and drop, but the family of cite templates must be installed in mediawiki; see my notes on how to install the cite templates.
• Zotero, Mendeley, and Papers all support drag-n-drop citation copying in a variety of formats, including Harvard.
