KBibTeX allows to search in BibSonomy
KBibTeX is a KDE application to manage your publication offline similar to JabRef. It integrates several online services and allows to copy the found data. In this way also search in BibSonomy is possible.
Gnome Deskbar Integration
The goal of the deskbar is to provide one search interface to different search systems such as Amazon, eBay, or your file system. You can integrate BibSonomy into the Gnome Deskbar with the Gnome Deskbar handler for BibSonomy, licensed under the GPL 2. (Thanks to Jörn Dreyer).
- Download the script.
- Move the script to $HOME/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/handlers.
- Right click on the deskbar item and enable bibsonomy.org Bookmarks.
- Click on "More". A menu pops up in which you need to enter your Bibsonomy username (see picture below).
When you enter a term in the deskbar it might take a few seconds before the result of Bibsonomy will appear.
Collect BibTeX entries from a LaTeX aux file
The perl script you can download below collects all the BibTeX entries referenced in a particular LaTeX file in aux format. It then requests the corresponding BibTex entries from BibSonomy.
Command to start the script:
grabbib.pl [username] [LaTeX aux file name] > bibtexfile.bib
