Thanks! EndNote is oriented towards people writing papers, rather than librarians keeping databases. It works with Word 3 & 4, WriteNow, WordPerfect and MacWrite (not MacWrite II, yet...). EndNote has a DA which lets you add and edit references and search the database without having to run MultiFinder. The program was written for the Mac and has a nice interface (according to our customers). The search function is pretty limited (Author/Year/Full Text) but it DOES have boolean capability between searches, and it's *really* fast. (According to BCS Mac's newsletter). Articles on bibliographic databases: Macuser, Feb '89, MacWorld, Feb '89, and MacGuide, June '89. We have a nice catalog and a $5 demo disk: please send me mail if you would like either or both.
