Carlsbad, CA, USA – April 24, 1998 – Research Information Systems (RIS) today began shipping Reference Web Poster, a new collaborative tool for sharing bibliographic references with colleagues on the Internet. With Reference Web Poster you can post databases from ProCite, Reference Manager, and EndNote on the Web. Colleagues with a browser can search these databases and import references into their own reference managers – ProCite, Reference Manager, and EndNote. Reference Web Poster is available from RIS at an introductory price of $149.95.

Post Bibliographic Databases to the Web with Reference Web Poster

Build your personal reference collection in ProCite, Reference Manager and EndNote (each sold separately). Post your Reference Manager, ProCite and EndNote databases on the Web to share with colleagues around the world or on your Intranet. You can describe the contents of posted databases and specify the display format for bibliographic references, including the output style and sort order. Reference Web Poster is easy to use – there's no programming or database conversion required.

Colleagues Search and Export References into Their Bibliographic Software

Anyone with a Web browser can access a Reference Web Poster site. Colleagues can search any combination of ProCite, Reference Manager and EndNote databases – simultaneously. They can import references into a ProCite or Reference Manager database in one step and into EndNote or other reference managers from a text file.

"Bibliographic software discussion lists daily request tools for posting and accessing reference data on the Web," said David Kochalko, president and CEO of RIS. "Reference Web Poster is a perfect tool for sharing personal reference collections on the Internet with colleagues or students. For example, a researcher in England can post an EndNote database for his or her colleagues in the United States and Asia to search. These colleagues, in turn, can download selected references into their own reference managers for use in their research and writing – even if they all use different bibliography managers."
