You find a reference

In fact, there's no need for it to be a separate process, you can save your references to Connotea as you come across them.

You can add any page on the web to your Connotea library. If you add an academic article, Connotea will automatically import all the bibliographic details for you.
One click saves it on Connotea

When you sign up for Connotea, you will add a button to your browser that lets you easily add references.

When you're on a web page that you want to save a reference for, you simply click the 'Add to Connotea' browser button.

A window pops up allowing you to save it there and then, and there's no need to break off from what you're doing or fire up a separate program.
Add your own keywords for easy retrieval

When you save a reference to Connotea, you add keywords (or 'tags') to the reference to help you find it again.

You can choose any tags you like, and each reference can have as many tags as you like, so you will never have to decide between different categories or navigate complex folder structures.

When you go back to your library, you will see a list of all the tags you have used, so you can easily find your reference again.
