About Zotero.| EDUCAUSESource Zotero is a research tool for managing
online references. Developed by the Center for History and New Media at
George Mason University, Zotero is a Firefox extension that provides
users with automated access to bibliographic information... for resources
viewed online. Using “translators” for several hundred websites, online
databases, and commercial sites such as Amazon.com, Zotero “senses” the
bibliographic information contained in a web page and—when the user
clicks the Zotero icon—gathers that information and places it in the
user’s library of sources. In this way, online researchers can quickly
and easily gather the information they will need later to review and
cite references
and create bibliographies. Zotero includes features to manage sources,
and users can also manually enter sources. The result is a centralized
location for gathering and storing references, significantly
streamlining the research process.

NetLibrary eBook of the Month
Invisible China: A Journey Through Ethnic Borderlands Chicago Review Press, 2009
In
this eloquent and eye-opening adventure narrative, authors Colin
Legerton and Jacob Rawson, two Americans fluent in Mandarin Chinese,
Korean, and Uyghur, throw away the guidebook and bring a hi...therto
unexplored side of China to light.
They
journey over 14,000 miles by bus and train to the farthest reaches of
China to meet the minority peoples who dwell there, talking to farmers
in their fields, monks in their monasteries, fishermen on their skiffs,
and herders on the steppe. As they uncover surprising facts about
China’s hidden minorities and their complex position in Chinese
society, they discover the social ramifications of inconsistent
government policies--and some deep human truths as well.
Designed
to increase awareness of online resources and highlight the value of
your eBook collection, the November eBook of the Month is provided
through the generous support of Chicago Review Press. Don’t miss the
opportunity to share this engaging and provocative exploration of
China’s remote border and interior regions.
Invisible China will be provided with free, unlimited access
