Yes, I run in to this problem as well. I go on reading sprees of hundreds of papers. Recently it was something like 200 papers and 150 MB re: microfluidics. BibTeX is nice, but not always a given. Google Scholar allows you to export citations as you find paper search results- perhaps it would be possible to write a userscript/javascript hack that would automatically download the BibTeX citation as you download a file? This way, you always keep track of information per download. This is a hack, not a real solution, of course. - Bryan http://heybryan.org/ 1 512 203 0507 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
