Cite U Like



The new generation of internet, ‘Web 2.0’ really highlights the direction the net is taking. No longer is it a read only web, where you go to research and find information. Instead the strengths of the web have become its read-write
nature, allowing collaboration between people who are geographically distant. Wikis,
page flakes and google apps are just some of the applications that let you do
this.



Net citizens are finding many ways to take advantage of this collaborative benefit, one such site is http://www.citeulike.org/.



From the site ... CiteULike is a free service to help academics to share, store, and organise the academic papers they are reading.
When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works
from within your web browser. There's no need to install any special software. Because your library is stored on the server,
you can access it from any computer. You can share your library with others,
and find out who is reading the same papers as you. In turn, this can help you discover literature which is relevant to your field but you may not have known about.
