In her recent editorial in Matrifocus, Sage Starwalker lists  these two great sites for managing, searching, and sharing scholarly references on the web.  Thanks, Sage!

a service for managing, discovering, and sharing scholarly references

Bibster

a system that assists researchers in managing, searching, and sharing bibliographic metadata; “…it provides the possibility to search on a distributed peer-to-peer network … (and) an easy way to share data with other researchers.”

One of the problems that has plagued feminist movements in the past is that one generation of “movers and shakers” has not found a way to communicate with the next generation.  In this informative editorial Sage Starwalker addresses cross-generational communication through the use of social networking and other technologies.  In order for us to keep growing and moving forward, we “elders” must find ways to bridge the gap and overcome any reluctance to meet our younger sisters in the places where they meet (probably on the internet).  This article ought to be required reading for those of us who want to open such a dialogue.
