Product 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. 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 download, rename and organize pdf files on-the-fly from PubMed (requires access permission) or from 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 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 in this version:
- Apple Pages '08 compatibility.
- Scan RTF documents saved from Scrivener that have accented characters.
- The enlarged view in the reference window has a Cancel button.
- Find/Replace in Term Lists finds terms with punctuation.
- If a bibliography with a hanging indent was sent to the Bibliography window, the hanging indent will be preserved when you copy and paste it into a word processor.
- Files lacking file type metadata but having the extension .cgi will be recognized as text files when you select import.
- In the Online Search window, if Import to Hits List is checked Bookends will add the imported references to the current hits list.
- The creation of a new window with the results of a Nisus Writer Express/Pro "Scan a Doc" macro works on non-English systems (requires NWP 1.0.1 or NWE 3.0).
- Use a keyboard shortcut to open attachments when the reference window is in front (Shift-Command-O).
- A static group's name will temporarily highlight when a reference has been added with Command-#.
- Bug fixes.

Bookends vs. Quosa - Version: 10.1.3, 1/21/2008 12:00AM PST

I'm curious if any reviewers can comment on this program vs. Quosa, which has had a Mac version for years. Many comment on this program vs. Sente but Quosa is curiously absent from the discussion.

I had a few hiccups with importing an older version of the data, but the developer took care of it right away. Over the years I've been using Bookends, developer support has always been great.

I wish to provide a followup to my previous comments. I have reconciled my differences with the developer and am on better terms with him -- several have written me that their primary reason for using Bookends was his incredible support, so my experience was definitely not the norm.
Mac users are lucky because there are at least three strong contenders in the area of bibliographical management software: EndNote, Bookends, and Sente. Over time I continue to gain a better understanding of the complexities of these programs, which really must cover several distinct areas: Formatting bibliographies (and interoperability with various word processors), reference and attachment management (in the app), online searching and downloading, and note-taking.
No one program is perfect in all areas (nor will one program suit everyone's needs), but at this point in time, Bookends is probably the strongest contender overall. Bookends continues to be improved at an incredible rate: 10.1.1 is already as much of an advance over 10 as 9.1/9.2 was over 9; the inline reference editing introduced in 10.1 is wonderful.
