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. – Here are the step-by-step directions if you haven’t played around with finding support files before:Ģ - Click on "Word" in bold next to Apple in the Mac applications menu ( )ģ- Select Preferences in the drop-down optionsĤ- Click on File locations under Personal settingsĥ- Click on "Start up" at the bottom of the listĦ- Click "modify'" and select ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9. If it’s not there, search for that file (it may be in your Office 2011 start up folder), and once you find it, move it to the 2016 start up folder – then Zotero and Word will know where to look for it. If not, from within Word, see if the Zotero.dot file is in your Word startup folder. Open up Word and see if the Zotero icons are there. Use the download instructions to re-install your Zotero library.Ģ. First make sure you have entirely closed Word and Zotero. My recommendations come from this forum post, so feel free to just refer to this post (or use it in addition to my suggested steps below):ġ.
