Biblioscape 4.0 is released!
After a full year of development and testing, Biblioscape 4.0 is finally released. This is a major upgrade in almost two years. It greatly expanded the feature set of Biblioscape which now includes 7 modules.

References module is for storing, managing, and searching for bibliographic references. Bibliographic records from different sources can be imported into a Biblioscape database with the right import filter. References are organized into folders. Several searching tools are provided to query the database.

BiblioWord is an easy to use word processor tightly integrated with the References module. It is also a bibliography maker that can convert temporary citations in a document into formatted citations and bibliography. If you prefer to use Word or WordPerfect, Biblioscape also provide tight integration with these two popular word processors.

Internet module can be used to search online bibliographic database via a web browser. With a single button click, your web search results can be captured into a Biblioscape database. Besides capturing bibliographic records, you can also use the Internet module to capture web pages.

Notes module is designed to collect any free text information that does not fit into the reference database. A note can be your ideas, comment, background information about an author, etc. Notes are organized in a tree structure. A note can be linked to other notes, references, tasks, etc.

Tasks module is a simple To Do list manager that is integrated with the References and Notes modules. It is designed to manage tasks related to your research, so you won't need a separate program for it. Tight integration with other modules of Biblioscape make it an ideal tool to manage research related tasks.

Charts module can be used to draw flow charts, organization charts, etc. A chart object can be linked to the References, Notes, Tasks, and Library modules. You can draw a chart to express ideas and procedures in your research, and use SQL to connect objects in your chart to other modules in Biblioscape.

Library module is for managing a small research library. It could be a researcher's personal library, a department library, even a small corporate library. It includes 7 sub-modules to handle different tasks in library automation. These are: Catalog, Serials, Circulation, Interlibrary Loan, Borrowers, Lenders, and Suppliers.

Biblioscape also includes a web server application, BiblioWeb. With just one button click, your bibliographic database can be published on the Web. Web users can be assigned Read or Write privileges to browse, search, even add and delete bibliographic records using a Web browser. This is the easiest way for a research group to share a common bibliographic database on the Web.
