- A personal literature database can be a significant help in
- organizing references for planning, interpreting, and reporting
- research. This is especially useful if means are available for
- extracting listings from comprehensive databases and if selected
- references can be incorporated automatically into manuscripts. We
- report an integrated database system in operation in our laboratory.
- While the system we describe is for a chemistry database and certain
- of the sources discussed are specifically chemistry sources the
- system is applicable to any discipline. Our system is Macintosh based
- but the software involved is also available for IBM compatible
- personal computers. The current core of the system is the database
- management and bibliography generation program, EndNote Plus, from
- Niles and Associates, with input through Current Contents and
- Chemical Abstracts.
