PubMan Look-Up Services
work in progress
These specifications describe the integration of various look-up and web 2.0 services into PubMan.
WorldCat[edit]
- intergration of WorldCat Look-Up into the researcher portfolio
- possibility for the user to search for additional works of the same author (e.g. beyond a particular organziation or period of time)
- example search within all fields for works of "Kurt Mehlhorn"
- user gets a range of results to choose the appropriate person
- there is also the possibility to refine the search for special formats, years, content, languages, and topics in a second step
- WorldCat offers the possibility to implement a search plug-in for other websites
- the html code for the search box is available on WorldCat after a prior registration; it includes ones WorldCat Affiliate ID
- it's possible to adjust the embedded styles to have the box's appearance conform to one's site
- here are the three available versions of the search plug-in with their html codes:
Version | Code | Example |
Narrow Search Box (150 pixels wide) | html code for Narrow Search Box | |
Wide Search Box (250 pixels wide) | html code for Wide Search Box | |
Tab Search Box (500 pixels wide) | html code for Tab Search Box |
- I would suggest to choose the narrow or wide search box
- via the offered search boxes an automatic WorldCat search within the fields title, subject or author starts
- for our use a search within the author field would be sufficient; the text in the search box should be adapted accordingly
- WorldCat search possibilities within the author field:
- via truncation (e.g. "mehl*")
- only the surname (e.g. "mehlhorn")
- surname plus given name abbreviated (e.g. "mehlhorn, k." or "k. mehlhorn")
- surname plus complete given name (e.g. "kurt mehlhorn" or "mehlhorn, kurt")
- pubman-style is: "surname, given name" -> if possible the name of the author should be transfered automatically to the WorldCat search box on the researcher portfolio page in pubman -> so only one click is required to start up the search for further works of the same author
ISI times cited[edit]
Bookmark[edit]
With a "Bookmark this Item" link, we can provide pubman users an easy way to save the pubman item view directly to its personal bookmarking page (Delicious or Connotea).
Delicious and Connotea[edit]
- two possibillities:
- one button with two options for bookmarking (Delicious & Connotea) or
- two buttons -> one for Delicious Bookmarking and one for Connotea Bookmarking
- The One Button Possibility
- user is on the pubman item view
