I've been trialling Connotea - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connotea It is Web-based, lets you share your references with selected groups of other users or with all god's children, does a goodish job of automatically extracting info from Web pages etc, and allows you to back-up and export your data so that you are not locked-in. And it is open source if you want to run your own Connotea server, and it is backed by the publishers of nature so it is not a cowboy operation. We (meaning a distributed group across Australia) have been using to to build a shared bibliography on public health biosurveillance. We'll make this bibliography public on Connotea in due course. That's the nivce bit. Tim C _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
