Project LibX <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #49 from Project LibX <[email protected]> 2012-11-15 19:59:49 UTC --- LibX (libx.org) is a COinS processor, used by over 200,000 users affiliated with over 1,000 libraries worldwide. We link users to their OpenURL resolvers to obtain referenced items - journal and newspaper articles and books. We are in the middle of a project to greatly improve COinS processing, with Wikipedia as the primary beneficiary. Whereas the current implementation simply links users; our planned implementation would contact the user's library through such APIs as the Summon API and directly find links to where the user can get the item. This is of tremendous benefit, particularly to users of academic libraries with subscriptions to journal database or news paper archives. Please restore this functionality, either by restoring COinS, ajaxing COinS, or using alternative microformats; please provide this functionality such that not only metadata extraction is facilitated (like Zotero needs), but also such that a user interface can be provided that alerts users that an agent has processed the metadata - LibX, for instance, places a 'cue' where a COinS appears; we would like to add a tooltip. See an example of our envisioned design here: http://libx.org/how-to-set-up-libx-with-the-summon-api/ (This shows what we right now do for ISBNs on a page - we are working on doing just that for COinS, though would probably stop this project if Wikipedia drops COinS since you are the major provider at this point.)
