Thank you for your useful reply, Daiya!
I have had great difficulty finding anyone with whom to discuss Nota Bene.
It seems to have great potential for me. But, I fear it may be a dying
product. No newsgroups that I can find; several dead links on their site, a
product that seems more DOS like than windows. I'll get directly in touch
with them and see what they say for themselves.

| I thought NotaBene was still active and developing, though, now that you

look

|
| You checked the user reviews on the site? Those are by real people.

| You'll find the EndNote listserv archives here--
|
http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/endnote/
|
| But people are currently a little unhappy about EndNote 9--EndNote 8 added
| Unicode support and a whole new database format and the program seems to
| still be working out some glitches.
|
| All the bibliographic programs offer demo versions. Download everything
and
| spend a month at a time seeing what you like best.
|
| EndNote's main purpose (and I am not familiar with any of the others), is
| formatting citations and re-formatting citations when you re-submit an
| article to a different journal that uses a different style. It will hold
| your notes, but I don't think it will replicate a notecard style as some
of
| the notecard programs will (I'm not familiar with any of them). You might
| find more on the listserv archive.
|
| EndNote, ProCite, and RefMan are all owned by the same company, though I
| don't know anything about the other two. Dig on the support page for them
| and I would assume you will also find a link to the listserv archives for
| the other programs.
|
| You might want to ask your library what they support/recommend.
