4. Objectives
•To identify and select the most comprehensive open source Reference
Management Software against a pre-defined set of criteria
•To organise/store the metadata of collected online articles/journals
through the use of Reference Management Software;
•To create a bibliographic database in a local system with global
accessibility i.e synchronization of local reference databases with
global server;
•To integrate reference databases available inside Reference
Management Software with word processing software;
•To integrate reference databases available inside Reference Management
Software with Library Automation Software; and
•To explore the process of sharing and collaboration of bibliographic data.
