Supporting Library Research with LibX and Zotero     

《Journal of Web Librarianship》2013,7(3):111-122

Abstract

Two open source extensions to the Firefox browser, LibX and Zotero, can improve the research process for library staff and users. Once configured and installed, LibX provides Firefox users with an additional browser toolbar and right-click functionality that can search a library's catalog, OpenURL resolver or federated search engine, as well as other Web sites. LibX also includes an autolinking feature, which embeds searchable links within other Web sites such as Google, Amazon, or Yahoo. Zotero merges the best features of other citation management programs with those of popular Web 2.0 services. Zotero users can store full citation information and sort, tag, annotate, and search these citations from within the Firefox browser. Zotero can also “scrape” citations from certain Web sites, allowing users to selectively save citations into their research collection. Zotero can generate complete bibliographies in MLA, APA, and Chicago styles. The abilities to remotely store, synchronize, and share Zotero collections are under development with a planned release date in fall 2007.  相似文献   

浏览器扩展组件在图书馆的应用     

孙博阳 《大学图书馆学报》2010,28(1):24-29

向用户提供浏览器扩展组件是图书馆方便用户利用图书馆的方式之一。用户通过这种方式,可以不必中断在互联网上正进行的科研过程,只需在当前浏览的窗口上点击一下鼠标,就可以检索和利用图书馆的资源。这种采用客户端技术加强图书馆服务能力的做法在国外已有较普遍的应用,也是目前图书馆将那些被互联网拉走的用户拉回到图书馆的举措之一。该文将浏览器扩展组件在图书馆的应用情况进行了汇总,还对北京师范大学图书馆采用LibX的应用情况进行了概要描述,该馆的LibX突破了只有SFX的源资源才能生成SFX链接的限制,将链接服务扩展到任意页面。LibX将读者的互联网阅读过程和图书馆OPAC检索、电子期刊检索、OpenURL链接服务以及WorldCatxISBN服务等多种功能和服务整合在一起,提高了读者对图书馆资源的检索效率和水平。  相似文献
