----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Clive, You may want to have a look at ProCite. It is based upon the MARC format, is easy to import information (with the proper software), can be used by multiple users (an option), has search only capabilities (to protect the records), and produces customized reports/bibliographies. It is also available on different platforms. Good Luck!
