[Social-sciences-list] CItation managers and Jaws or NVDA

[Martin, Vincent F]

I use Endnote but with reservations.  I actually enter in all my citations and edit them in version 5.0 and do the citing in version 7.3.  I have version 8.x but haven't check to see how well it works.  The preliminary overview gave me less accessibility than I had with the previous versions.  I just don't have the time to put forth much more effort into this as I am trying to do my dissertation proposal.  I am sure that scripting of JAWS would make it much more usable.

Subject: [Social-sciences-list] CItation managers and Jaws or NVDA

Hi all,

Sorry for the cross-posting, but I'm hoping to find any answers there might be to my questions fairly quickly.  I'm no worse off if nothing comes from this discussion, but it would be really helpful with a project I'm working on if information about accessibility and using these software programs/methods is out there.

First, I'm wondering if anyone has experience using Mendeley for organizing citations with Jaws or NVDA.  What about End Note or Zotero?  I'm hoping Mendeley is usable as I'm on a student budget, but if End Note or Zotero are markedly more accessible, I'd be interested in trying them.  My Jaws is 13, but my NVDA is up-to-date.

Second, I'm about to make a matrix for organizing and analyzing my sources.  I was thinking of just doing this in excel, but if there are better/more accessible methods for this organization I'd love to hear them before I put the time into making a huge matrix.  I have 11 sources so far, but still have time to gather books and articles from related fields.

The study I'm designing has the aim of identifying barriers in training for blind undergraduate music therapy students, as well as the accommodations that could be made for them in their clinical training to optimize training outcomes.  The assignment for this class is to complete a perspectus and the literature review, so the study will be well on its way to being organized by the time we leave school and can be presented to graduate schools if/when we apply.  Having methods for managing my citations and organizing my information will be helpful, as due to the literature gap in my field I'm pulling resources from disability studies, psychology, and education from journals I'm not very familiar with.  Any suggestions or feedback based on professional/student research experiences would be appreciated.
