Re: literature database(s) and styles exchange

[dieter walossek <dieter.walossek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not using ENDNOTE. This programme is available for both PCs and MACs, it comes already with many pre-defined styles, incl. palaeontological journals, and it can read directly from MEDLINE or BIOSIS via input filters. Moreover, it's a plug-in for MS_WORD files, so that any changes in the styles are simultaneously changed in the text and in the reference list.
But, referring to your suggestion, also here it would be good to exchange the style once someone has created a special one, e.g. for Lethaia or N. Jb. Geol. Palaeont. etc.

For interested people: I have put some more Orsten-type animals on my homepage recently. They include now a phosphatocopine baby from the Lower Cambrian of Britain, and limbs of Middle Cambrian phosphatocopines from Australia.
