RE: [dm-l] Refworks

It's true, Citation Manager is software for institutions to provide citation-management services to their members, rather than a package for personal citation management. Managing circulation is another problem; you might want to look into LibraryThing (an online commercial personal library management system) or, if you're a Mac user, try Delicious Library. http://www.librarything.com/ http://www.delicious-monster.com/ I haven't gone into these in detail, but my sense is that what you gain in collection management, you lose in full-featured academic citation formatting. There's some interesting work going in the OpenOffice group on developing the citation management system to handle citations the way academics need to, in a solid standards-based way that allows interoperability with other bibliographic systems. There's lots of information on their wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bibliographic_Software_and_Stan dards_Information Peter -----Original Message----- From: Daniel O'Donnell [mailto:caedmon@uleth.ca] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:21 AM To: Binkley, Peter Cc: Digital Medievalist Community mailing list Subject: RE: [dm-l] Refworks Peter, This is primarily library software... though it looks VERY good from the screenshots and in my case, I've been using my citation manager also as a circulation manager (it's a long story, but... I was getting tired of swearing I wouldn't lend books, doing it anyway, and then losing them, so I dicided instead to LoC them, but card pockets in the back and make people "sign them out"--works like a charm). Do you know/does anybody here use this as a personal citation manager? -d On Fri, 2006-24-02 at 11:22 -0700, Binkley, Peter wrote: > An open-source alternative to RefWorks is Citation Manager, part of the > reSearcher suite: > > http://researcher.sfu.ca/index.php/cm > > It doesn't have all of RefWorks' features but it is quite good.

Fwd: Proposal to add medievalist characters to the UCS
by Yin Liu 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

All best wishes to Everson et al, who have been doing very good work through the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative, etc. But is anyone working on _late_ medieval English characters? Middle English has some issues of its own. -- Yin Liu Department of English University of Saskatchewan 9 Campus Drive Saskatoon SK S7N 5A5 Canada (306) 966-1835 yin.liu(a)usask.ca
