Hello All, Can anyone recommend a good open-source/free bibliography database programme? It doesn't have to be integrated into Word and all that jazz, just be able to print out bibliographies in a variety of styles, and store all the material in a sensibly accessible database. Ideally it would also have the capability of doing online sources too. I have never used open source, so I would want something relatively easy to install. Thanks for any advice, Julian ++++++++++ Julian Hopkins Senior Lecturer HELP University College - ADP Kuala Lumpur tel: +60 3 2095 8791 x2913 email: julianh@help.edu.my web: http://www.help.edu.my
Bookends by Sonny Software works well, and is integrated with Word, etc. I'm new to it, but I know others on the list use it as well... http://www.sonnysoftware.com/ ----- Michael T.

Bookends isn't really open source though... It is my preferred tool. the system behind http://referencetool.tmttlt.com is open source, but web based. I suggest that you also search the archives as Axel Bruns posted this question a while back and there were some interesting answers. On Oct 23, 2006, at 9:13 AM, Michael T Zimmer wrote:

just a few days ago, someone on the list posted a "technology evangelist" job for a project named zotero. Curiosity piqued, I went to the site - www.zotero.org - and found this out about Zotero: Zotero is a free, easy-to-use research tool that helps you gather and organize resources (whether bibliography or the full text of articles), and then lets you to annotate, organize, and share the results of your research. It includes the best parts of older reference manager software (like EndNote)—the ability to store full reference information in author, title, and publication fields and to export that as formatted references—and the best parts of modern software such as del.icio.us or iTunes, like the ability to sort, tag, and search in advanced ways. Using its unique ability to sense when you are viewing a book, article, or other resource on the web, Zotero will—on many major research sites—find and automatically save the full reference information for you in the correct fields. In short, Zotero looks really cool. Perhaps I should look into that "technology evangelist" job their offering, eh? --Christian Nelson On Oct 23, 2006, at 9:08 AM, Julian Hopkins wrote:

Wikindx is another option in this area. It looks to be a bit more than what was originally requested and it appears to me that development may have slowed but it's worth exploring. I've got a test implementation up and running and so far it's okay. It works reasonably well but it hasn't blown my socks off yet. Kevin

refdb (http://refdb.sourceforge.net/) doesn't really qualify as "relatively easy to install", and it doesn't have a user-friendly front-end, but the maintainer of the package is incredibly responsive and helpful, so I would still recommend you have a look at it. I have been using it in conjunction with BibDesk (http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/) as the user-friendly front-end, and LyX (http://www.lyx.org/) for editing my document. The results, I think, look very nice indeed: download the PDF file (and compare the other versions: all generated automatically) from http://www.malcolm.id.au/thesis to see what I mean. -- Jeremy Malcolm LLB (Hons) B Com Internet and Open Source lawyer, IT consultant, actor host -t NAPTR 1.0.8.0.3.1.2.9.8.1.6.e164.org|awk -F!

I guess you will not propose a mind map as a literature data base . However, a mindmap can help, sometimes. The open source mind map is Freemind. It's current version is 0.8 which can be found at http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page There is a continuing development of the program Cheers Frank -- ..........................................
