Litw³

Description Contact Download: Documentation · Software

litw³ is a web-based literature administration system designed for literature-related data entry in workgroups, independent of time or location.

• Simplicity
  Important aspects of litw³ are its user friendly operating system and its uncomplicated data entry and search (standard search) facilities. The use of freely definable input masks and output masks (e.g. for journal articles or for archival documents) enhances litw³'s clear structure and helps avoid errors.
   
• Efficiency
  Data recurring in more than one record can be set as default values.
   
• Variety
  litw³ facilitates detailed data entry by offering the user a large number of search fields for data input. The advanced search allows the user to perform complex searches by using all Boolean operators.
  litw³'s registration process is designed to allow differentiated levels of access to the system (e.g. as guest, normal, advanced or administrator)
   
• Consistency
  The author and keyword index offers a "find and replace" function, thus avoiding the time-consuming manual correction of individual records.
   
• Flexibility
  The field headings can be changed according to the requirements of the individual user.
  A user-friendly module can be used to import records that have been compiled with similar programs. (ASCII and UTF-8 with freely positioned field definers)
   
• Clarity
  All features of the database system are fully documented in the help index and an editable online support feature further assists users to produce complete and coherent records.
   
• Presentation
  Users can already release individual records for publicly accessible research purposes whilst they compile their literature database. Released records can be viewed in a shortened or full-length form. An XML export is also available. The work on a multilanguage version is in progress.

litw³ can be used with all servers that can read PHP.
