Import PDFs and references the way you want!
|
Import PDFs from your hard drive or from the web.
Metadata for PDFs are downloaded seamlessly from the Web.
|

That is over 30 million records in biology, medicine, physics, mathematics, social science, and other sciences at your finger tips!
I, Librarian makes it easy to locate and save PDFs from the Web.
You can also save your search terms for later use.
Records from many other databases (IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Scopus) can be imported through RIS format intermediary.

|
Can't trust cloud services? Roll your server at home!
|
If you have proprietary PDFs, or you don't want to collaborate with outsiders, you should not use cloud services.
With I, Librarian, you can roll your own secure virtual library.
I, Librarian is web-based software. Thus, you can easily establish your PDF library in your Intranet environment.
I, Librarian works with industry standard web servers like Apache and Lighttpd that enable reliable control over access from the Web.
Because users work with the library in real time, no syncing is necessary!
|
|
Search in reference data and in PDF full text!
|
Search for words or phrases in refer- ence metadata.
It takes less than a second to search through >10,000 records.
Searching is diacrit- ics-neutral. So a search for "São Paulo" will find "Sao Paulo" & vice versa.
|
You can even search for words in PDF full text.
|
|
Keep rich-text notes!
|
Write rich text notes with highlighting, lists, tables, and even images.
|
|

|
Add your records to custom categories.

|
Export records into reference managers like Bibus, Endnote, or JabRef.
