    Web References on personal bibliographic software

    I am providing here references to web resources on bibliography formatting (i.e. BFS) or so-called personal bibliographic software.

    When I started collecting them, I was searching for resources that would provide explanation about what this kind of software is useful for, that would describe its main features, outline the differences from other similar software families, describe specific features of the packages and analyze their performances. As a matter of fact, many of the web pages that I have gathered are made up of lists of products and of links to software producers' pages.

    As for producers' sites, I am giving the very essential reference. There is much more right there at their sites and it is continuously updated.
    Thereby one can find a rich amount of information (though understandably biased) and physical resources related to: company, products, prices, demos, general overviews and screen-shots, versions, upgrades, FAQs, import filters, output styles, discussion list, bibliography, companion software, reviews, press releases ...

    I have tried to include sites concerning : reviews and overviews, comparison grids, survey results, general information and advice, individual software products information.

    (At the same time, I have tried not to include: dealers' pages; e-mail discussion forums devoted to one product; pages mentioning the topic only because it is a subject of an academic program of studies; threads in e-forums; pages only containing specific instructions to download data from bibliographic databases and/or local library OPACs to the software package adopted by the institution supporting the site --because of the success and diffusion of this kind of software, there is an ever increasing number of them. For all that I have provided just a few samples at the end of this list under the "not covered category (sample)" "category").

    Since the compilation of this list, Summer 1999, many sites have, increasingly, become -at least for me- unavailable, no longer accessible : I am still listing them, separately.
