eGems™ Collector Pro is a powerful research management software, enabling users to conduct and organize electronic research quickly, easily and accurately. A desktop-based application, eGems is ideal for researchers and knowledge managers.

eGems Collector Pro lets the user quickly grab, store and organize electronic research "Gems" on the fly. The user can capture facts, quotes, graphics, Web links and more from the Internet, digital libraries, or other open applications. Research Gems are stored in a simple and intuitive database (Slide 2), with automatic hot-links back to their Web sources, as needed.

Gems can be easily organized in personalized "chests" and "trays." As each Gem is created, the software provides three screen shots of the Gem. The first is a "General" screen (Slide 3) that titles the Gem and provides the user the opportunity to write a note about the Gem.

The second is a "Bibliography" screen (Slide 4). As the user is capturing Gems, eGems automatically cites relevant source information and offers the user the option of adding to the source material and choosing a format for building a bibliography for later use.

The third is a "View" screen (Slide 5) that shows the user the captured Gem. eGems Collector Pro software offers great flexibility in application: permitting users to drop Gems into their own documents, such as Word or PowerPoint, by simply dragging and dropping the Gems into the open application. Source material is instantaneously and accurately regenerated for formatted footnotes or bibliographies in the same step. Or users can email Gems to others, or share Gems on a network.

Gemteq Software, Inc. is a privately held corporation based in Novato, California. Its mission is to provide innovative solutions to simplify the collection and usage of information found on the web or any electronic source. eGems Collector is the first step toward a suite of products and services designed for education, businesses, content providers and e-Research communities.
