[Building Sakai] Citations Tool

[Chris Ribble]

Thanks for the prompt reply and sorry for the lack of information. My 
colleagues are currently compiling a list of issues, but I know for sure 
that one issue is that Google Scholar lacks ISSNs in their results, making 
it impossible for our SFX to resolve them, obviously not an issue with 
Citations tool, but was the largest issue we have faced so far. Has anyone 
else come across this issue? I'm trying to familiarize myself with the 
tool now, as I admittedly have very little experience with it. I'll post 
back with a more detailed list as soon as I have it. 

Thanks,
Chris

BTW, I should have mentioned that the Citations Helper has been in use at 
Michigan, Indiana and several other schools for several years.  Michigan 
used SFX as the url resolver throughout that time, if I recall correctly. 
I don't recall that we have had problems, but I think there may be some 
cases in which attributes are lost due to the outdated implementation of 
OpenURL in Citations Helper.

Hi Chris, 

I am copying the Sakaibrary list because people on that list may be best 
able to help, and they may not subscribe to sakai-dev. 

Can you give more information about what is not working?  Are citations 
being saved from Google into your citations list?  Are links showing up 
that target your instance of SFX to locate the resource?  Is the problem 
that those links fail? 

One possibility is the version of OpenURL in use.  Some work is in 
progress to upgrade the Citations Helper from OpenURL 0.1 to OpenURL 1.0. 
Adam Marshall <adam.marshall at oucs.ox.ac.uk> or Eric Echeverri <

HTH.

Jim

Hi Everyone, 

Just wanted to find some more information about using the Citations Tool 
in 2.7.x. We have been unable to get it working 100% effectively. Is 
anyone else using it? We've ran into an issue linking scholarly articles 
through Google Scholar and SFX. 

Thanks 
Chris
