Adventures in #citation



Going to use #Zotero from today onwards until we meet again, so goodbye Endnote. 


Thanks, @katong (Peter Schoppert) and Juria for the recommendation. 
This led me to find some treasures - archive treasures that have been embedded in my 10-year Endnote bibliography. 

Here are the tips to exporting your bibliography from Endnote to Zotero.

Do note that this process is done with the Endnote Program. So do not uninstall your Endnote Program yet. 
  1. Start your Endnote Program
  2. Select your entries you wish to export in your database citations. 
  3. Click Export, as Refman - .ris extension.
  4. Save file. 
  5. Start Zotero and import the .ris file. 


Just in case you feel like watching the video and waste more time online. 

I will share this treasure that is embedded in my bibliography. J wrote about the early fundraising exhibition by Chua Koon Beng, and there is a reference to the Substation. 

"This Saturday, J and I went down to a small fundraising show at the Post-Museum where artist Chua Koon Beng showed 18 charcoal sketches of the different people who have contributed to or interacted with the project - construction workers, a designer, a baker, an artist, the owner of the shophouses, the foreman...

We have always enjoyed the projects curated by p-10 that we have managed to see, such as this or that. But what I've always enjoyed and admired is that not only do these folks really do make things happen, they've kept their hearts and heads in the right places, and they are open about it.

J tells me, for instance, how he likes the fact that among the objectives listed on their simple A4 photocopied introduction, one bullet point reads "Making improvements to our lives and the world we live in". Another 2 bullet points read "Reponding to our location and engaging the community in it" and "Making greater connection between the arts and the society at large". When we spoke to JE, one of the p-10 team, about their location at Rowell Rd, she had said matter-a-factly that they hoped to also bring a new and different energy and life to the street as the space evolved."

I want to thank J & Y for their thoughts and well-wishes - not for what I do but for the community. You have been amazing. J & Y
