Reference Web Poster
Author: Sharon Kitt    Posted: 17/07/2000 02:35:52 GDT
Does anyone use Reference Web Poster to publish their EndNote libraries on the Web? I have looked at ISI's information on the website, and was interested in the 'real world' experience. Specifically, can anyone comment on: the total size of the libraries they have searchable through Web Poster; any server/software limitations; general functionality; using the advanced search function; alternatives to the Web Poster software. URLs pointing to examples of sites using Web Poster would also be useful. Replies directly to me or to the group would be gratefully appreciated. Regards Sharon Kitt

In response to the question about Reference Web Poster, my department bought a copy. We have installed it and tested it but have not yet "gone live" for all of our students and researchers. We have some questions or issues that we have not yet resolved though: 1. We want to be able to limit the access to certain EndNote libraries. We would we satisfied with having it set up such that if we arrive at EndNote from one link, Libraries A, B, C,and D are accessible, if we access it from another link, only libraries A and B are available. From our investigation, this would require two separate copies of Web Poster on two separate servers. (And two copies of libraries A and B!) 2. The system does not seem to make explicit mention of EndNote for exporting references. It allows direct export to Reference Manager (7.x - 9.x) and Pro-Cite (3.x - 4.x) but not EndNote. RWP has been out for a while and it seems like they could have added the option for EndNote but have not updated the product recently. You can see this problem from their live demo. http://www.isiresearchsoft.com/rwp/rwpdemo.html While it is possible to download the file in a tagged format, you will then need to use an import filter from EndNote. It looks like it is much easier to do with with Reference Manager or Pro-Cite. --- I really like the idea of Reference Web Poster as a way to leverage the EndNote libraries my students and I have built but it seems like they need to fix a few things up. The user interface is quite nice and professional though. Access to different databases (and/or password protection of certain databases) is important though because many of the abstracts are copyrighted and while making a library of references accessible to my students may still fall under "fair-use", making it available to people outside my university can't count and would be an infringement on the copyrights of the original source databases. This is why I want my students to have access to libraries A, B, C, and D but outside researchers to only have access to A and B. Tim ------------- Dr. Timothy R.

Sharon Kit asks for experiences with RWP. We have been using it for a year and a half, mainly as a local resource to support teaching. We use it on a Windows-based server (because we are told it will not operate on a Mac or Unix server) and all seems OK both for simple and advanced search. We re-load the EN file periodically from the Mac on which it is maintained. Have a look. http://omega.bart.ucl.ac.uk/ris/risweb.isa The main limitation is that only 5 fields are visible (against the many fields in the underlying EndNote file) and we therefore have to advise users to search on "all fields" if they want to catch items by keyword, words located in abstracts or in second author etc. *******************end of message******************** New courses, scholarships - info at....... http://www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk/courses/planning/ ************************************************************* Michael Edwards, Bartlett School, UCL, 22 Gordon Street London WC1H 0QB w: http://www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk/staff/edwards.htm t: +44 (0)20 7679 4874 f: +44 (0)20 7679 7502 admin: +44 (0)20 7679 7456

Since reference web poster is windoid only, I import endnote references into FileMaker Pro and then deliver over the web. Probably better anyway since I have the full functionality of a dedicated database. Jud Gurney www.chestx-ray.com >Hello EndNote Listserv Members: > >My name is Kim Byron.

Dear Kim and copy to list 1. yes I do use it, and have for some years, to publish an EndNote library of 3500 items for students and researchers. We run End Note and everything on Mac, and all our other web activities under unix, but have had to use a windows server for this particular application. It does work, however. 2. It has + and - features. Worst thing is the limited number of fields on which search can be performed. Graphic design rather ugly too. 3. I'm away from the phone rest of this week. You could phone me at home this weekend (daytime British Summer Time) +44 (0)20 8809 1085 0r in the office daytimes next week (number below).

I do the same thing as Jud. If Reference Web Poster were a Mac App I would have gone with it rather than buying the more expensive Filemaker Pro. Any chance this could happen? How about integration of RWP with Endnote? Right now I keep all the info in two separate databases which a pain!

I am planning to deliver a FileMaker database on the web, and to buy Reference Web Poster for a bibliography. I am stuck with using a Windows box to do that if they will both be on the same server. Using FileMaker for both seems preferable, plus I can easily switch between Windows and Mac. Down side is the purposeful crippling of FileMaker v5 that limits the number of users per day. I will be appreciative if you send me the URL of your FileMaker bibliography so I can get a feel for what can be done. Also, are your FileMaker layouts and scripts and your EndNote export style available for use by others? Thanks, -- Don Hockaday South Padre Island, TX

I use filemaker unlimited, on a mac, across a cable modem, (in my basement). FileMaker is crossplatform for macs and windoid. I have a premedline database of over 8000 citations, (simple flat file, no related files). www.chestx-ray.com, click on RESEARCH and then click on AJR1914-1965. The limitation is my uplink which is cable modem, not the database itself. The structure is simple, fields for authors, title, journal, volume etc. Exported the EndNote database as tab delimited text and then import into Filemaker. FileMakers import function allows one to easily match fields between the two. Jud Gurney --

Hello Kim, I am Health Sciences Librarian from the Netherlands, Maastricht University. I support the (campus licence) of endnote, thousands of enthousiastic users, including students. Wrote diverse filters for our bibliographic data We give curriculum embedded courses on the use of endnote We facilitate course packs (we call them e-readers) via Endnote via Reference Web Poster Although it is practically ok, some minor things we encounter: > Not alle reftypes are suppported > Author names are obligatory > Layout is far too rigid (fonts, line spacing) > Typical Dutch (Author) Names like "Van den Eeckhout, F.M.G." will NOT be found searching on "Eeckhout" (one need to type exactly "Van den Eeckhout", while virtually everything else may be found on string basis, this is quite frustrating. That's one of the reasons for us to investigate other ways to present data to our clients, xml is one of the options. What we would like is a more flexible RWP (as flexible as endnote), or a webbased endnote version of course would be the perfect solution. So feel free to contact me, I'd like to discuss these kind of things.
