Elsevier's Scirus Science Search Engine Launches Library Partner Program; OpenURL Ready

From the announcement:

Scirus today announced the launch of its Scirus Library Partners program. The new program enables the easy integration of the Scirus search engine with library link resolvers. As a result, librarians can optimize the usage of their holdings and provide researchers with faster access to full text articles.

The new program utilizes the OpenURL protocol, which standardizes the transfer of journal metadata. This enables search results in Scirus.com to be automatically cross-referenced with the library holdings of the institution at which researchers are working, resulting in the automatic display of links where the full-text is accessible.





With Scirus Library Partners, researchers and students will immediately be directed to full-text results if they can be accessed. Additionally, by making use of the link resolvers, librarians can integrate with Scirus in a few steps, without needing to upload library holdings specifically to Scirus.

The Scirus product technology team has designed the Scirus Library Partners program in order to make it as easy as possible for librarians and researchers to integrate with Scirus. In order to link their OpenURL resolver into a Scirus search results list, librarians simply visit
www.scirus.com/srsapp/librarypartners, supply a base URL and download a cookie script to distribute to their users.

"In creating Scirus Library Partners, we've striven to make the process easy for librarians to implement, as well as researchers and students to take advantage of," said Joris van Rossum, head of Scirus. "Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible, to allow librarians to
focus on serving their students, and researchers to find and use the information they seek."

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
