Endnote just happens to be the one I use, and its pretty widely used. Refworks is fine too, although for my patterns of work it has some disadvantages.Michael E.

It's free, customizable to <B>any</B> format, works on all platforms including GNU/Linux (that's what I am using since 2005). <A HREF="http://www.citeulike.org/" REL="nofollow">CiteULike</A> provides BibTeX output.<BR/><BR/>For all my exams I need to write short reports, and all of them have their bibliographic references. I use LaTeX of course. See <A HREF="http://steko.iosa.it/files/chiesearavenna.pdf" REL="nofollow">here</A> for an example (in Italian, sorry about that).<BR/><BR/>However, I agree with the general idea that we all should have our bibliographic databases in good shape, and possibly share them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971081717687612908.post-13297600475769211102008-04-01T17:09:00.000-07:002008-04-01T17:09:00.000-07:00Endnote sounds wonderful, but at my university (Ar...Endnote sounds wonderful, but at my university (Arizona State) the student price is $109 (it's almost $200 forfaculty/staff). As an alternative, the ASU Library has acquired a campus-wide license for RefWorks, a web-based application that sounds similar to Endnote.<BR/><BR/>You can add citations int RefWorks directly from the ASU Library search results, Google Scholar, and other indexes. You can import Endnote files into it, as well.<BR/><BR/>It also will format your bibliographies for about 100 different styles, including American Antiquity.<BR/><BR/>The downside is that you must be connected to the internet to use it, of course.<BR/><BR/>The upside is that, well, it's free! At least it is for me as long as I'm enrolled...<BR/><BR/>I have not done any investigations to see how many universities are offering RefWorks, but it seems like it would be worth looking into if you are a cash-challenged student.Paul Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609006306944829120noreply@blogger.com
