Abstract
Systems and methods for disseminating data to users and enabling user customization of the data are disclosed herein. Access to the database is provided to one or more user devices, which are usable to select one or more items of data. Upon receiving a selection of one or more items of data, one or more customized notes can be received from a user device and stored in association with the selected data. Each note can be provided with a designation which selectively controls whether viewing of the note is permitted to all other users, or whether viewing of the note is restricted to the user from which it originated or users within a selected user group. A note screen containing all viewable notes associated with a selected item of data can thereby transmitted to the user device.
