Hi Matt,
I think it depends on a few things:
1) how much money do you have, for what sorts of purposes?
2) how wedded are your Endnote-based colleagues to that
application? Must be it Endnote, or might they be happy, for
example, if they could get the same effect with something else? How
tolerant of they of DIY solutions?
3) what kinds of stuff do you need to store?
Contact me off-list if it's more appropriate ...
but if you can keep it on-list because many of us face this similar
situation.

I am part of a small social science research group which has been
given
substantial funding for technological improvements. One thing we'd
liketo do is establish a collective bibliography (probably web-
based).
Most of theresearchers use endnote and MS-word for bibliography/word
processing. I of ocurse use Openoffice and... any of several
unsatisfactory bibliographic solutions. Including just entering
references by hand (yuck).
Anyway, since I'm the most tech-savvy person in this group, I have a
certain latitutde in recommending possible solutions. I am therefore
looking for a bibliographic management tool which:
- is _designed_ as a multi-user solution;
- has very good interaction with endnote, to the point that QUITE
technically illiterate scholars can easily up- and down-load
references;
- either has a functioning web search interface already, or has a
flexible API which would allow one to be written fairly easily
- has a sufficiently flexible db to ensure that, when OOo finally
gets a
really decent bibliographic interface (2008? 2010?), there
shouldn't be
any serious compatibility issues.
I know the perfect solution doesn't exist; but failing perfection,
what
kinds of solutions do you recommend/have you successfully
implemented?
