I know some medievalists who are real characters -- but somehow I don't thank that's what the intent is here. > Proposal to add medievalist characters to the UCS

Re: [dm-l] Refworks

Dan, My library--U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign--is using RefWorks and encouraging faculty and staff to use it. I am embarrassed to say that it is my first citation database (I am a true medievalist in many ways!) so I can't compare it to other programs. I can tell you about it, though. Here are the advantages: 1. it's free (but only through my university) 2. it's online and thus I can access my citations from home or office. And If my computer crashes, I still have the database tucked away on a server. 3. it's flexible with regards to citation style (has hundreds, it seems) and a nice system for filing citations in folders 4. this is neat--you can search library catalogues around the world and import citations from them. Here are the disavangates: 1. Some databases, such as Brepol's medieval bibliography, are not set up to export to RefWorks. Of course, perhaps I have just not figured out how to do it. For more info, visit the help pages created by my Library through this link: http://www.library.uiuc.edu/announce/refworkspr.html Good luck! ---- Original message ---- >Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 12:16:19 -0700 >From: "Daniel O'Donnell" <caedmon(a)uleth.ca> >Subject: [dm-l] Refworks >To: Digital Community mailing list <dm-l(a)uleth.ca> > >Hi all, > >Does anybody have any experience with RefWorks >(http://www.refworks.com/)?

Refworks
by Daniel O'Donnell 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hi all, Does anybody have any experience with RefWorks (http://www.refworks.com/)? It looks like a pay-as-you-go on-line reference manager that has many of the features of standalone products like Procite and Endnote. While I'd prefer an open-source replacement for Procite, I've not been able to find something suitable yet. This looks like it might be a decent stop-gap. Does anybody have any experience with it? -dan

Weird Firefox error
by Daniel O'Donnell 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

Hi all, I have a question I'm hoping somebody here might be able to help me with: I run Firefox on several machines. When I load in a local xml file with associated style information, the browser transforms the file correctly on two of my three computers. On the third, however, I get the following error: Error loading stylesheet: (null) file:///<path_to_stylesheet> I googled the error and saw that a common source for this error is an error in the mime type declarations, but in my case I wonder if this could be true, since Firefox is accepting the same files on other machines. In any event, here is the beginning of the file: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="file:/home/dan/documents/xml/xslt/dm1_2.xsl"?> > <TEI.2 rend="article"> > (I've also tried text/xml and application/xml and application/xsl). Any ideas where to hunt for the problem?
