Looking for Firefox Add-on to Manage Research

Post by BobH »

In writing, I do a lot of google and other searches to find references for information I include. Sometimes I use books and periodicals. These references need to be footnoted. I would like to have a Firefox Add-on that would allow me to capture a web page address, add a topic keyword, perhaps add other keywords for future searching, and to capture quotes or my own notes. After recording this and while editing for publication, I would use the information in preparing footnotes and appendices. The tool would need sort and search capabilities.

I have a vague memory of having seen a description of a Firefox add-on that did all or or some of this reference organization, but I don't remember its name nor can I find it in the Add-ons web pages or by googling.

Can anyone help?

Certainly not! By posting in the public forums, others can benefit from the questions and replies too!

OneNotes should do what you want. It comes with the Home and Students version of Office.

I use it a lot in doing my Genealogy research.
