The word on the streets (in my comments really) is that Epiphany may be the future of reliable web browsing so I will have to check it out. I also got an excited email today about a firefox plug-in that is for the (academic) gods: zotero… It looks pretty nifty and handy but since I don’t even use a bibliographic program like End Notes, at least I am not missing out on huge functionality, which reminds me, does anyone have opinions on good GUI free software bibliography programs ?

JabRef is nice of you can live with Java, otherwise you may try Pybliographer.

Check the spelling of the title

Well, I’m a fan of Zotero, but I’m biased, as I’m co-directing the project.

What are your needs? Donnie Berkholz just talked about a few bibliographic tools and his comments also has a bunch of useful software. For desktop clients: I prefer Jabref for bibtex and Bibus for OO.o. I use refbase for a collaborative web-based manager.

Yes, +1 for jabref. However, it’s quite slow, even on a fast system.
It uses bibtex as a backend.

For the brave, I like using mindmaps:

I use Pybliographic a lot. It has a nice GUI, plus a set of command-line tools for converting different types of bibliography files (including the refer format that Endnote can read and write).
