Abstract

Many readers of this column find the evaluation template of reference software a useful tool for comparing the features of a number of packages at a glance. The best-known of these is now in its 12th updated version, and can be found at http://www.burioni.it/forum/ors-bfs/text/index.html.
For each of the major packages, the evaluation template considers features such database structure, searching capabilities, database integrity features such as thesaurus or term lists, outputting options for repurposing the references and how useful the documentation is.
