I’m a lot like Dumpling with this one. I’m not in a situation currently where I need to store references for work (nor do I have any users who do as I deal with KM/Intranet issues) and I am thankfully long out of writing anything academic personally.
Which is not to say that I won’t need the services in the future but I’m already fairly competent – both my dissertation and my thesis were referenced with Endnote and I had to wrangle Refworks in my previous role as well as exploring adding Zotero to our LMS. I also already have a fairly comprehensive reference collection living in my delicious account from when I did deal with academic writing.
If I go back to academia – I would like to do a non-job related qualification but have to a) kill my MSc. debt and b) stop twitching at the thought of essays again – then I’ll almost certainly revisit the services and see which one would be more appropriate for me at that time.
