Hi Charlie (and the list), If you're interested in information systems research, there is a great resource with shared EndNote files on the ISWORLD portal, at http://www.isworld.org/endnote/index.asp. There is a repository of literature on mobile business at http://www.m-lit.org/, references can be downloaded once you log in. I have a searchable EndNote library with references on broadband and wireless technologies at http://www.broadbandresearch.ca/endnote/endnote.php. It needs to be updated, but the file is available for download. If you're working in this area and would like to add your files to this database, drop me a note. catherine middleton

I use Endnote and simply put quotes in the "notes" field. This has the added benefit of allowing me to search for quotes and key terms. In fact, when possible, I put the entire text of an article in the notes section. I also put a link to the filename of the article when I'm able to download an article.

I've tried hard to convince other graduate students and faculty to share their Endnote libraries but have not had much success. Other than laziness and lack of use of these powerful biblio tracking applications, I can't understand why folks would not want to share the refs they find helpful. Can someone explain this lack of sharing to me?
