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
"<font color="#6285AF"><b>Students who want academic-style citations
to the material they’ve found</b></font>. 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.......<br><br>
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. <br><br>

NetSnippets is a program used for collecting/annotating/sharing pieces of
information found on the web. It is very convenient in my opinion, and
we've been using it at our academy for a while (it's installed on all the
computers in our computer lab). There is a free version that supports
most of the features at:

The full version is very popular among academic institutions as far as I
know (I think they give 50% discounts for academic users), but I wanted
to make sure before I downloaded the free software to my own private PC.
Please let me know what you think.<br>

<dd>Hello Eric - I am a linguist and receive an online
"syntax/semantics minijournal' called Snippets. But, I have
never heard of NetSnippets -- what is that & how do you access this
software (it's a free download?)? <br><br>

<dd><font size=2>I study linguistics and gender studies at the university
of Toronto. I'm taking a distance learning course on global perspectives
on feminist education, and our professor has instructed us to install a
free version of software call NetSnippets.<br>
<dd>I was wandering if this is practice is considered to be desirable? a
trend maybe?<br>
