EndNote allows you to share groups of references. First, you organize your references into logical groups, and then you can allow certain people to view designated folders. You have the option of allowing them to just view the group (read only), or for them to also add and use things from your group (read + write).
This comes in particularly useful when working on a group project or when writing an article with collaborators.
