Already a drool pool. This feature is absolutely fantastic; now I suppose that to access our local library databases it is necessary to ask them for help with the configuration. I tried with VPN the other day but without any luck.jeremydouglass wrote:JSTOR direct searching someday? Ditto daiyi's /drool
In any case, thanks again, Jon.
Jon, could you, perhaps brief us on the situation with JSTOR? As I understand from this post we would be able to search JSTOR through the online search function with 10.1.1? It doesn't work on me, though - I get a consistent "Reply Empty" message when I perfrom a search for an article. I then tried to do it the old way, by going to the JSTOR website and saving the necessary citations, but subsequently was unable to import the reference into BE, whether from clipboard, file, or e-mail - I steadfastedly got the message "Done. No references were imported".
To access JSTOR directly you must have institutional access (i.e. your institution must have a license) *and* you must be searching from a university site (the ip address must be valid to JSTOR) -- using a VPN should work, too.
The new JSTOR filter won't work with the data downloaded from the browser. You can either reconfigure it to do so, or email me and I'll send you the old one that worked with the browser download.

Just sent you an e-mail. Perhaps this is not a purely individual need, though. I have access to JSTOR not through a direct subscription by my institution, but through a portal, in this case the website of our national library, which allows subscribers to be relegated to the JSTOR website using their subscription. I am not sure how common this way os access is, but perhaps there are other users who use a similar form of access and therefore have to rely on the browser-download or e-mail functions to import citations.

However, if I do an online search I cannot import the found records, drag and drop does not work nor does the "copy to" box dialogue. I have direct institutional access.

Gerben, which citation format did you use for importing from the clipboard? I tried all options available, but none of them worked, even had the citation posted to my e-mail and then copied to the clipboard from there, but all to no avail, although I indeed remembered this was the way it worked before.

Just to echo gke, even on campus we're routed through a portal page to get to JSTOR, so I can't do the direct search, I have to export the file and then import it.
