More Kudos for eGems

Gemteq Software, Inc., has received another positive review for their eGems Collector Pro 1.0 product. In issue 01:02:01 we reported that the product received a four-star rating from PC Magazine and was also a finalist for a Codie Award. Now the eGems software won a “highly recommended” rating by the esteemed Library Journal.

eGems Collector Pro is a research assistant that sits on your PC desktop waiting for information gems-text, images, graphs, or Web links-to be dropped into its database. Users simply drag and drop research “gems” from electronic sources, simultaneously organizing the gems into personal digital libraries, while automatically keeping source data intact.

The review, written by Holly Stec Dankert, Reference and Instruction, DePaul University, states, “eGems can be described as a ‘virtual filing cabinet’ for collecting and accessing the good stuff you find in cyberspace that is not easily locatable any other way except perhaps through clunky bookmarks.” The review continues, “The application is quick and easy to install; the tutorial, helpful and clear.”

Dankert concludes, “The Bottom Line: eGems is a creative and easy-to-use information manager that keeps track of nuggets of information-pictures, tables, quotes, articles-that users can easily retrieve to insert into reports or papers, while creating the bibliographic records at the same time. Highly recommended for libraries wanting to offer staff and users the ability to enhance their work, study, or research habits on their desktops.”

eGems retails for $59.95. However, The Green Sheet provides eGems free of charge to our subscribers. If you don’t have your copy yet, go to www.greensheet.com and click on “Download eGems for Free.”
