Hi, I wrote a while ago about getting z39.50 support working with NASA ADS, and you guys were great. Unfortunately, I found out from ADS that they are not planning to support z39.50, and may remove it.
However, the new web search feature has tempted me, as I see more potential there. ADS is able to return standard bibtex entries as search results. So I got it working such that I could search, get a results page (all in BibTeX, which I ignored) in the first pane, and then the results ready to import in the second and third pane. But now that doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing that the first two lines of the results (which aren't valid bibtex) are confusing the parser, but I'm not sure. Seems it would be easy to get ADS working similarly to Google Scholar, or similar. Also, it might be better/easier to use the ADS Tagged Format instead of BibTeX, since it includes the abstracts. I can send more details if that helps. On a related note, it would be nice, now that the web kit is installed, to be able to visit a linked web page from within BibDesk, and even nicer, if clicking on a pdf (or maybe even other types) link on that web page would automatically download and link the file to the BibDesk entry. (Someone showed me this feature in Pages today, and I was very impressed.)
