CiteULike is a "free online service to organize your academic papers." You can think of it as a web-based version of Endnote or Bookends, but where it really shines is in allowing you to create entries based upon online journal articles or books that you are currently viewing in your web browser. The auto-cite functionality is of limited use to us, since the list of compatible journal sites is rather small (It includes searching services such as JSOT and Amazon). Still, consider the easy capture from Amazon:
- Find a book on Amazon
- Click the CiteULike bookmark bar button
- A bibliographic reference to the book is automatically added to your bibliography
Finally, you can always export your CiteULike bibs to BibTex/Endnote format.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but depending on your work activities, it just might be worth a look.
