  • Survey Monkey, http://www.surveymonkey.com/  Create a professional online survey quickly and easily. "The thing I like most is the ability to auto generate reports from the data. I use the percentages SurveyMonkey produces and then have a research assistant highlight and summarize text from the narrative answers. It's made our assessment processes *far* simpler and I do recommend it." [Posted to TechRhet (techrhet@interversity.org) 1 Feb. 2008 by Virginia Kuhn. Re-posted without permission.]

 

  • FastJack, http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/library/toolbar/.  "FastJack gives you quick access to popular Jackson Library and GSB resources.  Its customizable feature allows you to choose the buttons and drop-down menus to suit your needs."   This toolbar for IE is a tremendous resource for students in Standford University's Graduate School of Business.  In conjunction with Zotero, I can see how this could be customized for students at other institutions.  See also http://lilac-group.blogspot.com/.  

 

  • Zotero, http://www.zotero.org/ "[F]ree, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It lives right where you do your work — in the web browser itself."  For what it does, this is a valuable tool.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work inside the most used browser, Internet Explorer, and it is limited to Web-based research.  Now, if someone would come up with something that works in IE and includes library-based research (see "FastJac"), then it would be perfect.  Hey, wait a minute, I'm trying to figure out how to do that (see http://lilac-group.blogspot.com/).  Heh.
