When you hook up the monitor in Windows, at least, you should have the option to extend, duplicate... If you duplicate they see the whole thing. If you extend you can drag over the window you want to share. I'm sure there are also fancier solutions! Christina -Original Message- From:

Did anyone already suggest Mendeley - I think it will do this for you with zero coding whatsoever. In fact, you can point Mendeley at the directory and it will suck them in automatically and rename the pdfs if you have it set that way. Of course this only works with published research articles

FWIW, if you have WoS (and I've lost track of whether you mentioned that), you can batch load your faculty into ResearcherID and then have TR submit to ORCID. The faculty would be the account owners but you would be the delegate. You could add citations and otherwise manage the accounts. It

This might be a bizarre question, but can anyone point to some analysis for a large general library, consortium, or even like WorldCat, a distribution of materials by class? So say for example 10% of the collection is in the 700s, and half of that is in the 741s, a quarter is in 746.432...

That would work - make sure you're comparing to a list that checkout out books are not on. Also, you probably don't have to do 10 or 3000 completely arbitrarily. Like Danielle Steele or Nora Roberts are quite a bit more prolific than Bulgakov. You could sort of normalize by number of items in
