  • Thanks for Refbase, it's excellent!

  • Easy interface, everything seems to work perfectly.
  • We have been using refbase since spring 2009 and have four specific bibliographic databases in use. I am hoping to bring up a generic libraries bibliographic database sometime in 2013 for all of our librarians to use. Being open source is a huge plus as we are in an academic library (read "little money"). The support is awesome, the community very helpful, and it is highly customizable. Great product!
