An interesting blog post written by Frank Norman about the history of reference managers, titled “From Sci-Mate to Mendeley – a brief history of reference managers,” rather amazingly cites a 1992 article by Thomas Wolff published in Database. That’s back when he was at Amoco and before Database changed name (and focus) to become EContent. Norman sees Endnote being edged out by Mendeley, just as Endnote edged out earlier bibliographic management tools. Mendeley, by the way, is a sponsor of Internet Librarian International.
