Bibliography database managers are used to manage information resources: sp ecifically, to maintain a database of references and create bibliographies and reference lists for written works. It should offer tools that let you f ind and retrieve references quickly,and it should be able to produce the bi bliography in the format required for a particular publication. There are m any computer programs, but very few stands out as truly useful,time saving, and work enhancing. One of them is EndNote. The reference manager EndNote 4 was recently released in Germany and, as long-time fans of this excellent program,we upgraded from the previous version. The use of the software pack age EndNote 4 for Windows is described, and we want to report about our own experiences with the new version of this database manager. The main reason for getting EndNote 4 is its clearly improved functions and features: for instance a new library window,a better search functions, an automatic updat es and completion of term lists and an improved identification of duplicate references. Altogether EndNote 4 provides also an excellent combination of features and ease of use.
