Don’t Use Endnote
Do you use Endnote for your references? I appeal to you to switch to a different system. Endnote, (owned by Thompson-Reuters), is suing the Academic researchers at George Mason University who wrote Zotero, a free and open source bibliography manager plugin for firefox.
The act of a large corporation suing academics who are creating high quality free software is just plain evil. Don’t use Endnote. Tell your friends to stop using Endnote.

Um, what are we supposed to use instead? Zotero, even though it may be closed down or something?
I don’t think Zotero will be closed down. Worst case, they’ll lose the ability to automatically work with endnote citations.
Personally, I use citeulike.org. But, I don’t need “deep” word integration, just ways of organizing references.
Oh, and I know people who use RefWorks. Not sure how it stacks up against Endnote, but I think they’re competitors in the non-free citation manager market.
