In one general embodiment, a journal club server receives bibliographic entries from a user. These received bibliographic entries are stored in a database.

Association requests are also received from users and implemented to associate at least one of, another user, or a group of users (e.g., a journal club), or a content item, with a stored bibliographic entry. This association is accomplished using the bibliographic entry'"'"'s identifier. Once a bibliographic entry is stored in the server database, a user, or a group of users, can access the entry and content items associated with it.
