New: RefGrab-It 2 (Beta version)

We received this message from RefWorks: “We are pleased to announce that we have developed the next generation of our RefGrab–It tool and we would welcome your assistance in beta testing.

 RefGrab-It Version 2 has three different options available:

• A bookmarklet (which is how the current RefGrab-it is available)
• A browser add-on for Internet Explorer (requires downloading and installation)
• A browser add-on for Firefox (requires downloading and installation)

In all three options of RefGrab-It, the functionality has been enhanced from the current version to include improved handling of information from the following sources:

• Amazon
• Google Scholar
• PubMed
• Wikipedia
• BBC
• USA Today
• New York Times
• Los Angeles Times

All other Websites will continue to be supported with the original functionality but the display has been enhanced to load within the new interface.”

Interested? RefGrab-it 2 isn’t available yet in your RefWorks-account. You can download more information here.
