"Citelighter, a browser extension for collecting notes online, is teaming up with Cengage Learning to turn paid research databases such as Questia into a stack of free virtual note cards.\nWith Citelighter's first product, students can highlight any text on any web page and click a \u201Ccapture\u201D button to save it in a virtual notebook. \nWhen it\u2019s time to write, they can visit the notebook to view all of their highlights from across the web, reorder them and add comments to create an outline. Citelighter automatically puts together a citation page.\nOn Tuesday, the startup announced Citelighter Pro, which builds on this functionality by recommending articles from Cengage Learning's research databases \u2014 the kind usually purchased by libraries and schools \u2014 based on what a student is researching. \nCitelighter already has a databases of notes and bibliographies, putting it in in a good position to make recommendations based on what students with similar topics have cited in the past.\nWhen students access those recommended articles, they can use Citelighter to capture facts from them the same way they do from other online content. Non-paying users cannot access articles, but they can access the facts and citations collected from them.\nThrough fact sheets it has dubbed \"knowledge cards,\" Citelighter is building a citation database. For about 375 topics, it has curated the most important facts its users have highlighted around the web and their sources. Now these sheets will contain facts from databases such as Questia as well. \nMost fact snippets currently hosted on Citelighter come from free websites. But when paid content is the mix, Citelighter has an opportunity to link users to sites where they can purchase the source material \u2014 and to collect referral fees.\nCitelighter Pro will be available in May.\n\n\nCitelighter Pro\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSearch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSearch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy Projects Page\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSearch Results\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAffiliate Fees\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
