ProCite is a database into which you can put bibliographic entries, then later do relatively sophisticated searches over the entries, and format any selected entries over many, many bibliographic styles. finally, the same company also has "linking software" avaiable to a number of commercial databases such that you can easily search the commerical database, then download selected items to your personal machine. ProCite works on a MAC, and there is also a PC version available. (i don't know what other platforms currently.) i have used ProCite now for going on three years, and have been very satisfied with it. ---jon--- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Sticklen Artificial Intelligence/Knowledge Based Systems Group Computer Science Department Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824-1027 517-353-3711 FAX: 517-336-1061 -------------------------------------------------------------
