Welcome to the June 2004 edition of Adept Scientific's Bibliographic Software Update.

1. Announcing New EndNote 8

Adept are pleased to bring you news of ISI Researchsoft's latest bibliographic software release, EndNote 8.

• Unicode support to simplify working with multilingual text, maths symbols or other technical characters
• Virtually unlimited storage capacity to accommodate larger records and libraries
• MSI Installer for easier and faster installation
• Enhancements to EndNote's compatibility with Palm® OS handhelds
• The addition of 9 new reference types and 10 new fields to cope with the expanding type and sources of reference material on the Web
• New Print Preview capability so authors can see how their amended document looks without having to print it off

If you've bought EndNote, Reference Manager or ProCite software recently, we hope you've also had chance to try out the complimentary RefViz demo included in the box. RefViz can be used in conjunction with any of ISI Researchsoft's desktop bibliographic software to make searching very large quantities of references easier, faster and more productive.

3. ProCite Biblio-Links II manual available for download

This comprehensive manual helps ProCite users get to grips with Biblio-Links II: a configuration file editor. ProCite uses configuration files to transfer records from information sources into your ProCite databases. Although many configuration files are supplied with ProCite, online information systems vary greatly in what data they retrieve and how they save it to disk, so you typically need a custom configuration file for each source. Biblio-Links II lets users modify configuration files or create new ones. This manual describes both Biblio-Links II for Windows and Biblio-Links II for Macintosh.
