DESCRIPTION
Bookends is a full featured and cost-effective bibliography/reference and information management system for students and professionals.

With Bookends you can easily import references (information about journal articles, books, etc.) from EndNote, and directly search and import from hundreds of online sources. Use a built-in browser to download references with pdfs or and/or web pages with a click. Automatic searches of PubMed let you discover articles as soon as they are published. Powerful group-based searches, with static, smart, and virtual groups. Live Search lets you further refine searches as you type.

Attach any file (such as a pdf) to a reference and view or open it instantly. There are options to automatically rename and organize pdf files on-the-fly. Automatically download and attach the pdf of an article from PubMed if you have access permission. Automatically locate and attach pdfs on your hard drive.

Scan your word processor files and automatically generate finished manuscripts with properly formatted bibliographies. Access the power of Bookends directly from MS Word (including Word 2008) and Mellel. Scan Apple Pages '08 files and RTF files saved from any word processor.

Share your references over the Internet with anyone, on any platform (you, but not people who access your databases, must have a broadband connection).

WHAT'S NEW
Version 10.3:
  • • Google Scholar Online Search. • Download pdfs from JSTOR and Web of Science with one click (access privileges required). • The Get PDF menu option searches a broader range of sources. • Automatic download of reference information from Google Scholar when attaching a pdf. • Automatic database synchronization (Auto Sync) on open and/or close. • When Ibid is called for in a footnote, any cited pages following will be suppressed if the previous reference used the same cited pages. • You can tell Bookends to create a Subject Bibliography when initiating a document scan. • The List View groups pane has a permanent listing named Attachments that displays all references with attachments. • Smart searches can be restricted to references in one or more static groups you specify. • DOIs will appear in the Concise View as active hypertext links to the article (requires access privileges). • Calculate an author's h-index (Hirsch number) when doing an Online Search of the Web of Science or Google Scholar. • Copy Citation will work with Nisus Writer Express and Pro on non-English systems (requires NWE 3 or NWP 1.0.1 or later). • If BibTeX styling is selected for formatting, smart closed quotes will be output as '' (two apostrophes). • Bug fixes.

TOMECK  It seems the Sente team forces the development of Sente more than the Bookends team for Bookends at the moment. The new features of Sent 5.4.1 are interesting... Will Bookends catch up?   (Version 10.2)

OZEAN  Adding JSTOR searches is a real treat for people in the social sciences and humanities. With the new version, searching for journal articles and downloading them as PDFs has become easier by an order of magnitude or more. Great feature!  (Version 10.1.1)

ODYSSEUS  I was wrong -- in terms of overall usability, Bookends is *far* ahead of the competition, and it has widened the gap with this update, which adds an amazing number of incredibly useful features.   (Version 10.1)

ODYSSEUS  I think Sente 5 has gone beyond Bookends:

1. Sente appears to have the cleanest, best-designed interface. For example, you can do *all* your work in the main library window - no need to open up a reference window, switch between tabs within that window, etc.

2. Sente is unique in that it doesn't force you to use arcane character codes and field names in order to produce working formats -- it's all done in a graphic interface, with popups and checkboxes.  (Version 10.0.3)
