Calibre + Zotero + Zettelkasten
Hello,
this is how i use Calibre in addition to the firefox plugin Zotero and the freeware program Zettelkasten deutsch / Zettelkasten english: I uses Calibre to store my pdf / epub books to sync with my reader. One time a week I create a catalogue of my new books in Calibre: Convert Books > Create catalog ... This catalogue is stored in .bib-format with UTF-8 and "strict". I can import this catalogue a) in Zotero, where all my other (non-electronic) books are stored and b) also in Zettelkasten. In this case I use the "Zotero" filter in Zettelkasten. In Zotero I use the function "Attach Link to File" and I use the stored ebook in Calibre, so that I have access directly to my ebooks stored on my pc by using Zotero. Greetings, Maria! |

hi!
I am daily flooded with sci articles & books - in fact I knew and use Zotero. It's the 1st time instead that I hear about Zettelkasten. The website is rather informative, but would you care to review its usage, and advantages over other systems (e.g.zotero)? thanks! alessandro |

Hello alessandro,
Zettelkasten is a natively a german program. It is based on the "Zettelkasten" (slip box) of Niklas Luhmann, a german sociologist, who had a really big physical analogue "Zettelkasten". Here are some english links: http://takingnotenow.blogspot.com/20...telkasten.html In this blog there are also more entries to Luhmanns Zettelkasten; use tag "Zettelkasten". http://pileofindexcards.org/blog/200...kasten-method/ Video about Niklas Luhmann's Zettelkasten http://japanologie.arts.kuleuven.be/...+knowledge.pdf Here you find some information about Luhmann's Zettelkasten translate in english. Greetings, Maria! |

thanks really a lot - not only for the zettelkasten link but for lettimg me discover the terrific blog takingnotenow.
Can I further ask you for a bit of help? I was unable to understand the fine details of zettelkasten, since the site is german only, and googletranslate makes a terrible mess. Do you know of any english introduction for newbies to it? thank you! alessandro |
