Surely the real question is who out there will hear our cries and design a replacement for RefMe? Nothing else comes close. I used to be able to demo it in seconds and students would be bowled over. Now I've created a 6 minute Zotero how to video which, while invaluable to UGs, I feel is a faff to explain to the sixth formers that I teach. Even though many of them plan to go on to HE, the reality is they're just looking for something quick, easy and highly portable. Whilst Mendeley and Zotero are both commendable tools I think Jen's original question highlights the level that many UGs are at. In answer to the question about how I've found CTFM. I already had an account pre-RefMe and consequently I think that it gave me a better migration experience than those who are coming to it for the first time. Certainly it migrated my RefMe references over with no trouble. It does make you hanker for the ability to save new lists without having to pay. Ultimately I no longer use CTFM, I use Zotero. I'd be intrigued to find out whether Zotero/Mendeley membership has increased and how many people are paying for CTFM. Tom Hatton et al, we are very disappointed.

Now it's been taken over by Cite this For Me, the reports have been less favourable and there will be a cost implication. I just wanted to ask what you all recommend to undergraduates? Our students can use Endnote but I find that a lot of my subject groups struggle with this as they often only have a few references and find it too complicated to use. They also use Mendeley but again, it's quite a large product for their needs. They liked Ref Me as they can just import their references and produce the bibliography in the relevant style. Do any of you recommend any other products? How have you found the change to Cite This For Me from Ref Me?
