Zotero

Zotero is a freely available browser extension for Firefox that allows users to collect, manage and cite their research sources. It integrates tightly with online resources and helps users locate and save the full reference information for the source. While it has too many features to list here, it also allows the storage of PDFs, files, images, links and whole web pages. It should however be noted that can be used with Firefox, and not IE7.
