the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Centers Program in the Division of Engineering Education and Centers has hired the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) to provide a customized interface for NSF’s internal use.The importance of this for us, as individual users, is that it's just more confirmation that Zotero is going to be around as a major tool for scholars, and will continue to develop more features. As the blog post puts it:
This contract reflects Zotero’s growing role as a critical element in the cyberinfrastructure that sustains scholarly research in general and the sciences in particular. Because NSF has requested a new, custom item type, this project will mark Zotero’s first major step in the direction of user-defined and shareable item types. Other areas of improvement expected ultimately to benefit the broader Zotero community include significant enhancements to saved search functionality
If you haven't already downloaded the Zotero plugin for Word, I'd encourage you to do so. That way you can start learning how to make and edit footnotes and bibliographies using the Zotero citations we're building on our class Zotero library.
