How to Promote Zotero at Your Institution and Why

pa_card — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:02:07 +0000

Browsing the net around the use of reports in ZOTERO, the super-easy and powerful Open Source reference management software, I came across this slide show which I am happy to share here: Zotero workshop slides Many thanks to our friend to have put this up, it is really encouraging. What in fact struck me about [...]

The Bronze Lions Outside the HSBS Headquarters

Following comments and an exchange of emails from my previous post about the bronze lions outside the HSBS headquarter in Canary Wharf, London, I am extremely pleased to publish this amazing series of photographs about Hong Kong and the bronze lions there. Mr. Hagan’s two black-and-white photos were taken in the 50′s, and the two [...]

How to Embed your Zotero Bibliography in Scribus Books

pa_card — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:51:33 +0000

I had a bit of problems with the possibility of inserting my ZOTERO references in the pdf book I have been working on lately. Being it a photobook, I thought not to have a traditional Bibliography at the end of the text: that would have been a bit too heavy. Instead, I opted for a [...]

Zotero, Ubuntu 10.04, and Java: not a perfect marriage as yet

pa_card — Mon, 03 May 2010 14:13:46 +0000

I want to share this because it gave me quite a big headache first thing this morning: I had just updated to the latest stable Ubuntu version 10.04, and Zotero did not work, or better the transmission between Open Office (now version 3.2) and Firefox (3.6) did not work. Why? well, because the Java applet [...]

or ‘For a fistful of pixels’. This post is also an attempt to apologise to the unknown photographer for the previous comments I made on the Facebook forum promoted by The British Journal of Photography on the matter. In that circumstance, in fact, I suggested that the disqualified photo (from being 3rd winner at the [...]

My Photobook from Scribus to Blurb via The Gimp

pa_card — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:38:33 +0000

I have just printed my first photobook ((Cardullo, P. 2010 Walking on the Rim: a Tale of Abjection, London: Blurb.)) entirely made with Open Source software, that is, without easy off-the-shelf templates and long-established work-flow (e.g. Adobe/Mac duopoly).

Why I love Zotero

pa_card — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 22:27:25 +0000

I started using Zotero, an advanced referencing software, about two years ago, a bit as one of many other extensions to Firefox (Mozilla free and open-source web browser). At the time, I was also daily commuting into work, so my reading was often done on public transport (sic!), and my note-taking very patchy. But only [...]

ZOTERO rocks…but not for all

pa_card — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:57:41 +0000

With the new version 2.0, Zotero is definitely making itself known as the best reference software on the market. Actually, this sounds a bit like an oxymoron as Zotero hasn’t got much to do with “the market”: it is in fact free! Zotero is an advanced bibliographic software produced by the Centre for History and [...]
