ENDNOTE X4 ----- OMG ---- ENDNOTE X4 OK so Rochelle is the only one that cares about EndNote. But seriously, if anyone remembers meeting Randy Wright when he came here to talk about Refman in his leisure suit, he actually gave an excellent presentation to about 200 people in a packed room about Endnote X4 and Researcher ID!!!! The newest version (coming out in late June) will magically take a PDF or a whole folder full of PDF's and convert them into an EndNote database.......... Whoa.......

At the POSTERS, there was also a librarian from Indiana who figured out a way through her I.T. dept to fix Internet Explorer so that you can direct import citations from PubMed to EndNote or RefMan (which everyone says cannot be done). Again, she had a crowd at her poster, and has published it in the latest issue of Med Ref Services Quarterly. (on my desk).
