RefWorks has made the following announcement:

RefWorks is pleased to announce the beta test launch for two new development projects – RefMobile and RefGrab-It (beta version 3).  In order to facilitate a general release of these projects, we are inviting all RefWorks users to participate in this beta testing.

Project 1: RefMobile

RefMobile is a version of RefWorks designed for access and use via Smart phones, PDAs and cell phones.  Features of RefMobile include the ability to view references in a RefWorks account, search within RefWorks, add a note to a reference and add new references using a “smart add” option.  Further details will be provided to individual users who would like to participate.

Project 2: RefGrab-It Beta V3

After several months of limited beta testing we are inviting all RefWorks users to be included in the beta test of RefGrab-It, our tool for capturing data on web pages.  This new version of RefGrab-It includes a new interface, two versions of RefGrab-It - a bookmarklet version (similar to the current RefGrab-It) and a Brower add-on version for both Firefox and Internet Explorer.  In addition to the new interface, there is improved handling of results from a variety of sources, as well as the ability to “grab” information on web pages using COinS (ContextObjects in Spans technology) .  Further details will be provided to individual users who would like to participate.

Please would interested users contact jeff.sramek@refworks-cos.com directly with an indication of the project(s) they would be interested in testing.
