Feature of the Week: Clipboard for beginners

This week we want to introduce some features offered by our clipboard that some of you might not know yet. The clipboard enables you to collect a subset of your own and other's publications. To add publications to the clipboard you can simply use BibSonomy's clipboard button as shown below: 

Once you've added all publications of interest to the clipboard you can export them using a format like MS Office XML, which was introduced last week. 

Another feature of the clipboard which is only available for your own publications is the adding of tags to multiple publications. You get there by clicking "edit own entries" in the above figure.

For example, if you want to collect publications as relevant literature for a paper, a class or a project, you can mark these publications in the clipboard by adding a meaningful tag to them.

Happy tagging!

Feature of the Week: Keep and collect interesting publications in your basket

For collecting publications from other users, BibSonomy offers a basket function. To add entries to your basket, a pick function has been attached to each BibTeX entry. If you are interested in a specific BibTeX entry, you can choose the pick option and the entries are added to your basket.

Your basket can be displayed with the basket button at the right menu. On the following page, you can select or remove items from the basket, and export the final list as BibTeX and EndNote format. Additionally, you can update the tags of your BibTeX entries in a batch mode. This option disregards BibTeX entries, which are not your own to avoid changing tags from foreign BibTeX entries.

Try our basket option and have fun, Miranda!
