The filters that do not show up in Internet Search (WOS, for example) are only able to parse files downloaded from the web (or wherever). To do an Internet Search (the analog of the EndNote Connection File), you need to enable Internet Search for these filters (and fill out the corresponding search ...

Thanks, R. Joe. I'll think about that...

Hi nicka, There is no end to the convoluted and arbitrary ways that people can decide to cite data in references. And computers can of course handle all of them. The limitation is really how difficult it is to design an interface that allows such flexibility and is still understandabe/modifiable by ...

Almost all of our individual direct search library filters import MARC records (e.g. MIT, for one, but there are over 100). Make a new filter based on one of these. Go to Internet tab and turn off "enable internet searching". Edit "reference begins with" to hold a tag (like 001, ...

Yes.

Hi Gerben,

Sure, that's possible. You'd need to modify one of the existing MARC filters so that it looked for a reference beginning with something like 001 (i.e., a real tag, not *, which is a metatag that only works for direct imports.

Hi lidador, What I'll do is to stuff (.sit) just the Bookends Folder without the .dmg. Hopefully that will download and unstuff properly on 10.2.8. I'll upload it in the next few days under the link that now points to a download for "10.2.x". I think this will take care of the problem. Jon...

Hi Tacitus, The problem is that ALL of these have the APPL type, so Bookends lists them (you can link to any running application, not just word processors). The only way to remove them is to specifically filter out each unwanted name. That is do-able, of course, but didn't seem worth the effort. Is ...

Hi Jonathan,

To enlarge the Journal field, just make the window larger (horizontally).

As for autocomplete scrolling the field, I've fixed that for the next update.

Hi Lara,

I created an Oxford author-date format. You may have wanted the humanities format (I didn't know which). If MHRA works much better, please let me know and I'll modify that to be exactly what is needed and include it in the next update.

What's your point? That doesn't answer my question.

That's odd. I thought 10.2.8 could open .dmg files. No one else has complained so far -- does anyone else have 10.2.8 and has tested this (the .sit download, I mean)?

I was waiting for someone to complain about the Short Title field being too long...

It was made longer to match the URL field. Since I can't change the tab order at this point (without disrupting too many internal details) the field order is fixed. That may change.

Can Bookends 9.0.4 version for OS 10.2 and version for OS 10.3 and above, share the same files? I haven't tried, but I don't see why not. Since my eMac 10.2.8 still can't mount Bookends .dmg compressed files due to error 95, woudn't be better to have Bookends 9.0.4, version for 10.2, compacted in a...

Hi Gerben,

This is a problematic site. There was a discussion about this on the z39.50 listserv. The short version is, you can't access it via the Library of Congress gateway.
