[Web4lib] Re: [lita-l] Posting Journal Articles to Facebook?

[Michelle Frisque]

I looked at a few of our big journal providers. While it looks like  
ScienceDirect Blackwell Synergy and Wiley Interscience do not provide  
this functionality (or if they did it was not easily found) others  
did. It looks like some platforms like ScienceDirect and Wiley  
Interscience want users to use the  bookmarking or saving feature  
within their platform. With more and more people wanting to more  
easily share information they found (beyond sending an email) I  
wonder how long the big journal providers will try to keep their  
content within their platforms. However it does not appear all are  
doing that. Nature publishing works with Connotea. Ingenta has built  
in the ability to post citations to del.icio.us, citulike, connotea,  
and bibsonomy.
