Any suggestions for publishing citations on the Web? We have a department that has lots of publications with citations at the end of each. Keeping the citations up-to-date is a chore. Many here use Endnotes, and I know that can publish to the Web. Any examples I can view? Would Libguides be something to consider? Any other suggestions for easily getting different groups of citations up in multiple places?

[CODE4LIB] Wednesday afternoon reverie
So I'm deleting all the Bisac subject headings (650_7|2bisacsh) from our ebook records - they were deemed not to be useful, especially as it would entail a for-fee indexing change to make them clickable. But I'm thinking if we someday have a discovery system, they'll be useful as a means for broader-to-narrower term browsing that won't require translation to English, as would call number ranges. As I watch the system slowly chunk through them, I think about how library collections and catalogs facilitate jumping to the most specific subjects, but browsing is something of an afterthought. What if we could set a ranking score for the importance of an item in browsing, based on circulation data - authors ranked by the relative circulation of all their works, same for series, latest edition of a multi-edition work given higher ranking, etc.? Then have a means to set the threshold importance value you want to look at, and browse through these general Bisac terms, or the classification? Or have a facet for importance threshold. I see Bisac sometimes has a broadness/narrowness facet (overview) - wonder how consistently that's applied, enough to be useful? Guess those rankings would be very expensive in compute time. Well, back to the deletions. Cindy Harper Electronic Services and Serials Librarian Virginia Theological Seminary 3737 Seminary Road Alexandria VA 22304 703-461-1794 char...@vts.edu
Re: [CODE4LIB] Citation Publication Tool
Hello, have you considered using zotero online libraries ? It is easy to setup and if you only plan to store metadatas (not PDF), the available space should be enough for a long time. Otherwise, there are also many tools available, which goal is to build researchers directory.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Citation Publication Tool
Cornel, The pages are resources for teachers to use in their class rooms or scout leaders to use in support of an activity. As such, new references will be added, some older ones dropped. We don't want to suggest books that list Pluto as a planet, for example. Or one that doesn't include lunar missions after Clementine. These bibliographies are often being updated and are a chore to rework as static Web pages. We have pages on Mars, Earth, Jupiter, etc. each with a separate bibliography. Do you know of an example of Zotero being used to create a bibliography at the end of an on-line document?

For instance, if they're lists of scholarly resources (books journal articles, maybe presentations thesis) that make use of your group's data, then it's either an 'Observatory Bibliography' or 'Telescope Bibliography' depending on the scope, and sometimes just 'Publication List'. Those are actually an easy case in our field, as The Astrophysics Data System indexes the main journals in our field, so you just need software that can look up metadata from bibcodes: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2004SPIE.5493..163Hdata_type=BIBTEXdb_key=ASTnocookieset=1 'Publication Lists' are a little harder, as they often include Public Press coverage (ie, media intended for non-scientists such as newspaper / website / tv news / magazines), which ADS doesn't index. (and you often want to grab a snapshot of them, in case it disappears) For what you have ... although you have some links to formally published items, it looks to more be links to various websites with more information on a topic. I've heard them informally referred to as EPO Resource Pages (EPO == Education Public Outreach) or if specifically for teachers 'Educator Resource Pages. I've typically seen them organized first by intended age level, then by the type of resource. (organizing how you have it is generally for bean-counting when it comes time for senior reviews). ... As for software recommendations ... if you're already using a CMS, I'd look to see if has any add-ons for managing either bibliographies or just lists of external links. If you're looking for stand alone software, I'd look for 'Reference Manager' or 'Bibliography Manager' software that can generate HTML to post online. There are some that allow you to manage everything online, but then you have to be worried about securing it** : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software I'm not aware of any that have specifically been built for EPO purposes, but many of them have ways to add extra fields, so you could handle intended audience and your current classification that way. -Joe * There was actually an issue that came up during the work on the 'Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles' that makes me believe that there are at least 6 different things that people may mean by 'citation', and yours would likely be a 7th. See http://docs.virtualsolar.org/wiki/CitationVocabulary ** We had to drop the one we were using after a SQL injection, and my boss decided to ban all PHP on our network, so we rolled back to use 10+ year old software that had been written for another mission.
Re: [CODE4LIB] Citation Publication Tool
Joe I think beat me to the punch, but I know Drupal has a bibliography function and our internal pages run on a version of SharePoint and we have an annotated bibliography in that- it's running a view of items from a list based on category. Really, you just want a database in the background and a CMS that shows you things from the database that meet certain criteria. I think that should be a fairly standard thing to do? You would just add and remove things from the database and then they could appear on multiple pages if appropriate. I really would not use a citation manager. I think it's overkill because you're not looking to reformat or facilitate people downloading RIS files or whatever, right?
