Thanks for all the informative replies. Does anyone know if bibtex (or something similar) could be useful to keep track of not only references but PDF files as well? I have a ton (quantity ton, not weight ton ... :) ) of articles I'd like to 'link' to my references, search through, then find what PDFs I might want to read. Any ideas? I've seen the package Librarian on the bioinformatics website, but that's not necessarily what I had in mind: a) it's web-based and b) the GUI isn't what I was looking for in terms of displaying/updating information.

I mostly use PubMed, and the easiest way for me to do things so far has been to search PubMed (it'll do ISI WOS, and many other online databases) within EndNote and save as a bibtex file. But ... I might have to play around with non-EndNote software in the near future!

BTW, what do you guys use for LaTeX editors? I've been pretty satisfied with TeXShop, but I'd like to get a feel for what others use.

Thanks,
Doug

And, like Andrew, I have a few huge bibtex files that I've edited and
copied around for some years.  More recently, I've been using "isi2bib"
or "xisi2bib":

to convert entries from the ISI Web of Science.  Also, take a look at
bibtexml

http://bibtexml.sourceforge.net/

which can be used, along with free Java XSLT packages (eg. xerces &
xalan) to produce reasonably-good-quality HTML markup from your ISI
and/or bibtex collections.
