Moreover as this brief demonstration will show, people love Zotero for its easy (and magical) import of bulk references, metadata, and attachments (frequently, though not always, effective) from Firefox. A case in point: Zotero allows you to quickly vacuum up a list of references from Columbia’s CLIO electronic resources search.

Zotero functions best, I think, as a Firefox extension, and although there is a stand-alone Mac version, Sente imports from the Firefox Zotero.

If you’re not, then head over to and download the Zotero Firefox Plugin. If you are familiar with this process, simply skip to the next section.
Here is a Smart Collection I made for the words “economy” and some of its Latin variations: This can be very powerful over large libraries. I won’t dwell on this because I find it fairly straight forward: you can create search terms which will group your references and attachments based on the specific combinations of search terms located in your metadata.Īs you see in my example, Sente then groups automatically the references which match the keywords I search for. I almost always opt to make a “Shared Smart Collection” so that it syncs across all my devices which use the library. To make a Smart Collection, click on the gear menu in Sente.

Here I quickly demonstrate how to make a custom Smart Collection, for example, based on keyword. But you are already familiar with Smart Collections generally from the last post: statuses, ratings, Quick Tag Hierarchies, Author, Title, Year information etc. They will make sorting through your references and attachments by keyword fairly easy. Sente also facilitates the creation of arbitrarily complex smart collections–you can also use Boolean logic–which can also be nested as deeply as desired to create hierarchical trees. Smart Collections, as we will see when I post on DEVONthink basics, work pretty much like DEVONthink’s Smart Groups. If it doesn’t get an entry with good metadata, I’d recommend using the Sente browser and importing in the targeted mode from your preferred library catalog.
In general, often Quick Add will work just fine for searching by author name or title. In this case the reference and metadata come through almost flawlessly, requiring only minor changes. Once I enter the ISBN, we find the entry. Here I enter the ISBN number from the book: When you click on it, select “New Reference Using QuickAdd,” and the following box will appear, prompting you to enter the item’s DOI, Title, or ISBN.įor purposes of demonstration, I own a paper copy of Laura MacKinnon’s Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom (2012) and I want to add it to my demo Sente DigitalWorkFlows library as a bibliographic item–so that I can include it in a formatted bibliography later. Quick Add can be accessed from the gear shaped item in the Sente toolbar.

As an aside, you can always easily import references and bibliographies from Zotero or Endnote you have already made using Sente (see below and the Sente manual for details).

In the next post on annotations, I’ll show you how you can also take quotes and annotations from print books digitally with a scan pen, into Sente while working with paper only texts (no PDF attachments).
This is an especially useful feature when you are doing research in a library, for example, and want to add a pile of print books you are consulting into you bibliography so that you don’t forget about them. If you are merely looking to capture relevant books into your library on the fly as bibliographical references only, not attachments, Sente’s “Quick Add” tool is an easy way to add a reference to your library.
Other ways of adding files to build bibliographies: Quick Add This will be a shorter post, leading up to the next post, Sente for PDF Management on the Mac and iPad (4): Reading/Annotation in Sente and Power Note Taking ($$tagging$$) with Sente Assistant. In the last post, Sente for PDF Management on the Mac and iPad (2): Capturing and Organizing PDFs, Metadata, Tagging, Statuses, I demonstrated Sente’s internal browser, further showed how to use its PDF and metadata capture modes, and concluded by exploring some of Sente’s organizational features, including ad hoc Tags, Hierarchical Quick Tags, Statuses (for process), and Star Ratings. This post continues demonstrating Sente’s organizational features, showing you how to use Smart Collections (similar to Smart Groups in DEVONthink), how to build bibliographies via Quick Add, how to import Zotero libraries and make Zotero’s Firefox capture functionality part of your Sente workflow, and how to automate searches using Sente’s SRU and Z39.50 plugin.
