tellico has a "search the internet" feature with pluggable datasources.
Several of the distributed ones are libraries, and one is amazon.
It retrieves the citation and (at least for amazon) an image of the book
cover. I don't think it currently retrieves pdf's; in fact, it's
oriented to books, not papers. Probably it could be extended.
I just played with it awhile ago; I notice it can import from and export
to a variety of formats. It has export to LyX and OpenOffice, as well
as a variety of file formats like bibtex.
