As more citation databases become available on the web, scientists need a tool to integrate reference searching on the web and reference management on local machines. Biblioscape fills this gap with an integrated Internet module called BiblioBrowser. BiblioBrowser uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) engine; therefore it requires the installation of Internet Explorer. If you have Windows 98, Me, or 2000, IE comes with the operating system.
The main advantage of BiblioBrowser is that you can capture the references from your Web search results directly into your database. On the “Resources” pane, there is a list of citation databases available on the web. After searching for references on the web site, you can just click on the “Capture References” button, pick the correct import filter and import the references directly into your bibliographic database. This Internet search and capture capability is not limited to the sites listed in "Resources" pane, and you can use it for any Web based bibliographic database as long as the right import filter is available. You can create a new import filter or edit existing ones when needed.
