There is a package called BIB that's sold as a bibliography manager for
anthropologists -- it's got built-in formats for major anthropology
journals, but those are fairly standard formats.  It's a LOT cheaper
($50, $40 for students) than the better known programs like Pro-Cite 
and Notebook.  When you browse through your database it displays
references in a form that looks like notecards.

BIB lets you attach up to 10 keywords to each reference.

BIB can format output files for Wordperfect, Wordstar, Sprint, NotaBene,
others.  It doesn't work very well with MS-Word, but you can correct the
problem with a Word macro.

Each database can hold 2000 references.
