Bookends 10.2.1 public beta

Post by Jon »

Note: the public beta has concluded.

Hi all,

Bookends 10.2.1 has some signficant new features. Among them is reference surfing, which changes the Online Search display pane to a web browser that displays references you have found (it does this automatically for compatible sites, which include PubMed, Web of Science, JSTOR, Amazon, and arXiv, but you can enter URLs manually as well). You can navigate to the full text article or pdf and import both the reference and the pdf/web page with one click. You can also drag and drop a web proxy icon onto a Bookends database to attach the pdf/web page (or create a new "Internet" reference containing the attachment as well as pertinent information like the title, url, and access date), or to the Finder to download it to a file. Another new feature is the ability to create a new empty reference when you attach a pdf, and to have Bookends insert the text you select to the appropriate field using the Action pop-up menu. There are of course other more minor new features and fixes.

The beta is available here
