Endnote as a library catalog

[Nathalie Blanchard]

You might want to consider the following as well:


*Zotero*

*http://www.zotero.org/<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zotero.org%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEF_XuKa8nlo-t0ryWSAEfSjt8dfw>
*

- Free citation management software

- You can share bibliographies with a group of people. You can set it up so
that only some people are allowed to edit the bibliographies.

- Potential problem: Currently works only with the Firefox browser (version
3.0). They are working on a version that works with other/all browsers, but
they haven’t announced a release date.

*Mendeley*

*http://www.mendeley.com/<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mendeley.com%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHmlPJw3mUUIrbUMHuE--dTWThOgw>
*

- Free citation management software

- You can share a collection with up to 10 people (they also have to have
Mendeley installed)

- It works on Windows and Mac

*

- LibraryThing allows you to create an online catalog of your library.

- Only free for up to 200 books. $25 one-time fee for up to 5000 books.
