Hi Alison Are you aware of refbase <http://www.refbase.net/>? Essentially, it's a shared bibliographic reference manager (open source, of course). If you could link with that, or incorporate it into what you plan to build in Arches, that may go some way to satisfying many requirements. There's a public implementation at http://www.refbase.org/
