global perspectives distance learning course

[Patty Davies]

Hi Eric - I had a chance to check out the site -- I think right now that 
this would not work for me, ie., I am happy with my research filing system 
and how I find things, etc.  I did read under the caveats "People who 
*shouldn't* use this product" and it mentions "Students who want 
academic-style citations to the material they’ve found. They should use the 
Standard Edition, which (like the Professional Edition) automatically 
generates bibliographies in MLA, APA or Chicago styles."  Now, this feature 
sounds interesting to me:  I have been working on a sociolinguistic 
booklist for quite a while plus a couple projects in which I have compiled 
an annotated bibliography where this would help me.   So, I may like the 
$80 or $130 versions of the product.  Except I wasn't in the market for 
buying a product.......

I also was hesitant to download, even for free.  It might be OK software, 
just that I don't want to start playing with it and suck up a lot of time.

Patty
