Abstract: The WWW provides a variety of scholar information, like theses, studies, etc, which may be valuable basics for further and new scholarly work. Referred information of the WWW has to be archived (at the time of writing) for further usage because Internet resources could be changed. The working prototype WebSave - described in this paper - support users in their research process. The advanced and novel system manages relevant information of the WWW by importing bookmark files from common browser clients. The system allows adding a wide range of local metadata, storing the referred resources and generates a literature list. Furthermore, it is capable of interacting with other services like preparation for building a background library on CD ROM, building a document archive using Hyperwave, building a scholar dynamic Web library by quality metadata exchange to xFIND.
