- Itamar Even-Zohar mentions Library Master as a replacement for Ibid.

- My experience was almost identical. Meanwhile, our micro-system here
- has a limited site-license for Lib Master (since ours is a universally
- Word "Perfect" campus). Lib Master has some features I would *love* to
- have in Ibid. (3 e.g.'s: 1. when you add a key-word in the "subject"
- field, it is added to a list. If the key-word is new, it gives you the
- list and asks you if you really want the new one. Saves you having one
- entry "politico-religious" when what you really meant was
- "religio-political"; 2. will let you see the record in its "formatted"
- form with the press of a key; 3. dumps formatted bibliographies to
- NB/XyWrite, MSWord, WPerf, etc. native files. This last one is
- pointless for NB'ers + Ibid., though.) It also has a very impressive
- search mechanism for literature citations (e.g. of the Bible or
- Shakespeare) and dates.
-
- Meanwhile, it isn't seamlessly integrated with my working
- word-processor. Perhaps in these days of OS/2 and a stable Windows (or
- Desqview), that's not so important as it was....
-
- Hope this helps!
- David.
