Feature Request: access to google scholar search results
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 10:58 am
Hello,
I have an easy feature request for the google scholar online search, which I love.
Currently, if you do a gScholar search in Bookends' on-line search, and then click on one of the returned hits, the Bookends web interface goes directly to the publisher's page. Usually, you need a subscription to dl the pdf from that page.
However, many of us have institutional subscriptions that are properly linked in google scholar. So, if I do a gScholar search in my regular web browser, each hit has a "Find it @ Harvard" link to it, and that link takes me to a series of institutional subscription pages that eventually let me dl the pdf of the article.
Would you consider adding an option to the Bookends on-line search that takes people to the gScholar link rather than directly to the publishers page? That way, I could navigate to the pdf through my institutional proxies and subscriptions to dl the pdf right into Bookends, which I cannot usually now do.
thanks a ton!
