Do any of you kind net souls know of any companies that make
bibliographic software? We need to make some annotated bibliographies.
Also, does anyone know of any magazines that have reviewed this sort
of software?
Thanks muchly,

A newsletter put out by the Society for American Archaeology is publishing an in-depth, 2 part review of bibliographic databases -- try SAA, 808 17th St. NW, Suite 200, Wash DC 2006, ask about the issues of SAA Bulletin with both parts of the review. They focus on two big ones, ProCite and NoteBook, and one smaller one called BIB. Bib is much cheaper, works well but can't annotate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Davis Stone INTERNET stone@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu Columbia University UUCP rutgers!columbia!cunixb!stone -------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've been using the Refman package which may be of use. It stores references in a database, allows limited searching, will download from e.g. Medline, Compact Cambridge CD-ROM, etc. Abstracts/notes for each reference can be stored as well. It allows chosen references to be printed in a form for whatever Journal a manuscript is being sent to, and it can interface with several word-processors. You shoul be able to get a demo version. Sorry can't remember the name of the company, but if desperate, e-mail me. Iain

We need to make some annotated bibliographies. Bibliofile is a no cost set of programmes for managing bibliographies. You can programme it for most any purpose. It evolved out of a project to process medieval rhetoric bibliographies and those pertaining to the author's own research (in Japanese history). Bibliofile runs under XENIX, UNIX, ULTRIX, and MSDOS.
