Did a colleague just give you a particularly useful bibliography? Or did you happen across one during a recent web search? Or have you finally decided that you’re tired of formatting all your bibliographic references manually, and want to start using Ibidem, but don’t want to have to spend weeks manually typing in all your existing non-database-style bibliographies? If so, you’ll welcome Archiva Bibliography Converter—simply select the records you’d like, and Archiva will convert them into field-oriented Ibidem records.
“The ability of Archiva Platinum to convert bibliographies into Ibidem is alone worth the price. I had dreamed of a way to avoid having to input data from bibliographies I have kept for years or ones other people have sent me, and now Platinum does it in a few heartbeats.”
Klyne Snodgrass ♦ North Park Theological Seminary

If you’re a book lover, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the barcodes on the back covers of all the books published in the last few decades. And you’ve probably envied the ease with which these cryptic set of lines enable booksellers and librarians to catalog these works. Envy no more—with Archiva ISBN Converter, you can build Ibidem bibliographic databases simply by scanning these barcodes. It’s perfect for cataloging your own library, or capturing books you run across in bookstores, libraries, and at academic conventions. And even if you don’t have a scanner, Archiva ISBN Converter can save you time and effort—simply type or paste in ISBN numbers, and Archiva will go get the full records for you.
“Using Archiva with [an ISBN barcode] scanner has been pure pleasure and considerable fun. I’m already planning to catalogue my whole library this summer.”
Dr. Alan Segal ♦ Barnard College
“I am happy as a neophyte supermarket shelver. I have been running around my house—from study, to living room to bedroom and back—scanning into Ibidem every book I can lay hands on. . . . This new feature is such a great leap forward that it amounts to a revolution. . . . Now I can add a new book in an instant, and without getting distracted from reading and writing. My students will think me a master of my field, when I am in reality just a little old scanner, a Wizard of Oz of the world of books.”
Dr. John Talbott ♦ Department of History, University of California Santa Barbara

It’s a truism that the web has dramatically changed the way academics work. There’s more information out there than any of us imagined possible even a decade ago. But how do you make use of this overwhelming abundance of data? It’s easy, of course, to save web links by adding them to your browser’s favorites. But how do you get all that stuff that interests you in a form which you can easily search, along with your other notes, articles, and manuscripts? That’s where Archiva Web Page Text comes in: It captures and structures data from the web, letting you retrieve just the text you need, in just the form you need it—you can save what you copy from the web pages you visit to the clipboard, incorporate it in a non-bibliographic database, replete with the fields you need, or append it to a cumulative “log” or other NB file, which you can then search—by using Orbis—in free-form, unstructured, mode.
“Archiva performs the essential sterling service of capturing the text and creating a database record for use by NB tools. . . . The advantages of having the data in the integrated NB environment seem clear and overriding.”
Steven Uran ♦ The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris
