#[jeremycherfas]Bookends. Mac only. All-singing, all dancing, a precursor to many of the more popular online offerings like Zotero and Mendeley.
#[jeremycherfas]It stores all the information in separate fields, usually based on one of the accepted bibliographic remplates, and then is able to format the output to meet the very differing requirements of different journals.
#GWG[jeremycherfas]: What features do you like about it?
#[jeremycherfas]It has built-in online searches of major bibliographic databases. It can extract metadata from PDFs (with a little encouragement). It can import a variety of formats, and search by DOI. But the really important th8ing is the ability to format the output.
#GWGThat made me decide... I need to separate out author name and URL so I can search by them
#GWGIn version 2 maybe I will add books, not just online sources. Although maybe that might be better off as a separate type.
#GWGI don't want to end up with the same complexity issue.
#[jeremycherfas]Bookends has a field for category, which includes all the usual things, including books, chapters in edited volumes, conference proceedings, newspaper articles, everything you can think of. And you can add your own.
#[jeremycherfas]It doesn’t really make much distinction between online and offline.
#GWGI suppose I will start with name, author information, publish date, categories, featured image, and summary and go from there.
#[jeremycherfas]Truth is, I think of a bookmark as something *inside* a book, drawing my attention to a specific passage. But I realise that’s an old-fashioned view.
#[jeremycherfas]I suppose that’s what I’m doing online, making a mark to point me back to something I have seen before.
#[jeremycherfas]I don’t have nearly that many, and my problem there is tagging. Far too many unique tags.
#GWG[jeremycherfas]: Same problems no matter where I store them
