Designing personal bibliographic manager through client-side web technologies

Abstract

In the recent decades, the developments in information and communication technologies have cardinally changed science and engineering and caused the information flows snowballing. The education industry reacted with new educational standards oriented toward application of technologies in professional and quasiprofessional training which requires proactive independent use by learners. Within the contemporary context, the efficient intellectual activity is impossible without ICT tools. Computer programs enable to organize work with information sources, e. g. bibliographic managers used to preserve and process bibliographic information. Despite the diversity of bibliographic managers available, sometimes special targeted solutions are needed. The author discusses implementation of bibliographic manager through the instruments of any modern web-browser, e. g. HTML, CSS or JavaScript. Intentional control of the instruments enables to provide product functionality over the wide range of platforms. Independence of external factors and application of web-standards enable autonomous work with information resources on Pcs and use of the product as a component of Internet or intranet sites to visualize document collections and information materials.
