The time has come for libraries, too, to negotiate for rights to index full text
By Jonathan Rochkind -- Library Journal, 2/15/2007
The ability to search and receive results in more than one database through a single interface—or metasearch—is something many of our users want. Google Scholar—the search engine of specifically scholarly content—and library metasearch products like Ex Libris's MetaLib, Serials Solution's Central Search, WebFeat, and products based on MuseGlobal used by both academic and public libraries—are all a means of providing this functionality. At the university where I work, without very much local advertising, Google Scholar has become the largest single source of links to our link resolver product, illustrating how hungry users are for metasearch.
Deep Web Technologies redefines the federated search market with its powerful, flexible search solution, Explorit Research Accelerator. Organizations that use Explorit enjoy a custom solution that fits the specific needs of their end users, so searches are not only efficient, they're complete. By combining advanced, real-time search with sophisticated results retrieval, Explorit gives users precise, accurate results delivered with unrivaled agility.
WhatToSee
I have a routine problem that sometimes paper titles are not enough to tell me what papers to read in recent conferences, and I often do not have time to read abstracts fully. This collection of scripts is designed to help alleviate the problem. Essentially, what it will do is compare what papers you like to cite with what new papers are citing. High overlap means the paper is probably relevant to you. Sure there are counter-examples, but overall I have found it useful (eg., it has suggested papers to me that are interesting that I would otherwise have missed). Of course, you should also read through titles since that is a somewhat orthogonal source of information.
Here is how to use the system. You upload your personal bibtex file and have the system compare it to a known conference index; it will then present a list of papers, sorted by relevance. If you want to compare to a conference that is not yet indexed, you need to request that indexing take place. This takes about 30 seconds per paper, so you will probably have to be patient.
Specify your canonical

Carpe diem on any duplicate content worries: we now support a format that allows you to publicly specify your preferred version of a URL. If your site has identical or vastly similar content that's accessible through multiple URLs, this format provides you with more control over the URL returned in search results. It also helps to make sure that properties such as link popularity are consolidated to your preferred version
CrossRef Search
In order to open published scholarly content for the first time to free, full-text interpublisher searchability, a group of 29 leading journal publishers are participating in a CrossRef Search Pilot.
Through a special, reciprocal arrangement between Google and CrossRef, this Pilot launches a typical Google search but filters the result set to the scholarly research content from participating publishers, with the intent of reducing the noise produced by general web searches.
Google has indexed the full text of scholarly journal articles on the publishers' websites through a CrossRef gateway. Users may submit searches from CrossRef Search Pilot boxes on participating publishers' sites. Results are returned from Google using the Google search and ranking algorithms, and using the article's DOI whenever possible to link from the search results to the published article.
Open Source Discovery Portal Camp
Join the development teams from VuFind and Blacklight at PALINET, November 6, 2008, for day of discussion and sharing. We hope to examine difficult issues in developing discovery systems, such as:
*
ILS Connectivity
*
Authority Control
*
Data Importing
*
User Interface Issues
*
Federated Search
*
Virtual shelf list
*
De-dupping
*
Usage Recording and Reporting

CrossRef currently provides three ways for you to locate a DOI.
* If you have bibliographic data for a item and would like to find the DOI, please use the metadata section of this form.
* If you only have an article title and author, please use the article title search section of this form.
* If you have the text of a bibliographic reference, please use our automatic parsing service described at the bottom of this page.
