New automatic smart quotes, tag clouds
Sonny Software has introduced a new version of its bibliography and reference management software, Bookends 11. The title is geared towards students or professionals, and includes tools for obtaining, locating or referencing text, as well as assembling bibliographies. Version 11 offers a series of new features, including tag clouds, automatic smart quotes, and the ability to create metatypes for any pair of linked references. The user interface has been improved, and support is included for automatically generating citations.
Other updates include an enhanced notecard display, and a function for showing a format or import filter in Finder. The new tag clouds offer a visual depiction of user-generated terms or words within a reference. The app will display tags within the List View window, and users can customize how many are shown at a time. The number of viewable tags ranges from 50 to 1,000.
Bookends 11 is priced at $100 for most users, $70 for students, and as a free upgrade for people who bought Bookends 10.6.3 on or after January 1st of this year. Single-user upgrades otherwise cost $30. A downloadable trial version limits databases to a maximum of 50 references.
