To take it a step further is there an easy way to integrate it into other social tools like Instapaper, ReadItLater, et al or to have the full journal article results emailed to my Kindle’s address so that the papers all show up for instant reading on my Kindle, tablet, e-reader?!
Thanks for the tip Ellen!
Chris,
This is an excellent question! Right now, it looks like that ability is up to what the vendor decides. ProQuest only allows for straight RSS feeds or e-mail alerts, but I just checked EBSCO, another big database vendor and they have 322 (!) ways to share, including Instapaper and ReadItLater so go EBSCO and boo ProQuest. Full articles e-mailed to your Kindle would be dependent on if the Find It link imported (and I can’t see why it wouldn’t) or the article being available in full-text through the database. Forgive my guesswork–I’ve only got a Nook but I’m trying out a tablet this weekend.
Best,
Ellen
