The Otlet Update helps you organize the sources in your scienceOS library. You can now group your sources by adding them to collections. Each source can be part of multiple collections and one collection can contain as many sources as your whole AI reference manager.
We also added a more powerful chat history search: it can now browse the content of your previous chats. Further, we added a dark mode to scienceOS.
Create collections
Select sources in your library and add them to collections to organize your scientific literature.
(Creating collections in your library is for free.)
Activate dark mode
Turn on the dark mode to extend your battery life and soothe your eyes.
(Activating dark mode is fore free.)
Why Otlet Update?
This update of scienceOS is dedicated to Paul Otlet, who is considered a pioneer in the field of information science. Otlet envisioned a universal repository of knowledge and co-developed the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system for organizing information through card catalogs and classified knowledge.
