[Eril-l] Bulk search/Full Text find

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

My approach would be to get them into EndNote/Zotero, and then use its Find Full Text function.

The trick, of course, is getting them into a citation manager.  Depending on how structured the spreadsheet is, you may be able to import it.   I think EndNote's Find Full Text feature works off the DOI/URL if you have it, so you don't have to get all of the other fields parsed out perfectly.

If the citations aren't importable you could paste batches into Google Scholar, PubMed, or Crossref's search box, get the list of results, and export from there.

I saw a presentation this week that gave an AI chatbot a list of URLs and said make me a bibliography.  I haven't tried it yet, but I wonder if you could do the opposite.

Sounds like a fun project!

Hi all.,



My colleague has completely stumped me. I have a colleague who is helping a faculty member with a systematic review. She has an excel file of citations (mostly from Ebsco databases)  and is trying to figure out how to get the full text of them without having to search each individually. We have Alma/Primo if anyone knows any tricks for doing it in there or in Ebsco.



Any ideas?



Thanks

Theresa
