If she's at Stanford, there's also someone there in the library who could probably help her (I'll go tweet at her). Could she write a short blog post, or write a post that you can post, so we can point people at it to be able to answer her question? <br /><br />There's definitely a lot of interest in the library community about using these tools and some developing resources on teaching them to librarians in particular (http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2014/08/bootcamps-for-librarians.html) Also I happen to be going to teach a Data Carpentry (http://datacarpentry.org) workshop there in April if she's interested in learning more about doing some of the automation.

I think Papers for Mac does the same thing. off the shelf solution-even better than writing your own script!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742211004208956742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-23958877136305036612014-12-10T13:26:28.317-08:002014-12-10T13:26:28.317-08:00If the list of citations have DOIs, then you can s...If the list of citations have DOIs, then you can submit them to doi.org. The DOI resolver will check your IP address and point you to where you can get the paper. If your IP subscribes to the journal, then you will be sent to the appropriate page to download the article. If your IP doesn't subscribe, then you need to log in w/ your credentials for the journal (indiv. subscriber acct) or purchase the article.<br /><br />If you do this from a major research Univ. library, you should be able to get many if not most of your journal articles w/o extra payment.<br /><br />Like you, I'm an UC alumna with a lifetime alumni library account. (Well worth the $$$ when you graduate!) I can bring my laptop to any UC library and then download articles I want.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-84233700986991760682014-12-10T12:43:02.275-08:002014-12-10T12:43:02.275-08:00Not automated or in bulk but perhaps a piece of th...Not automated or in bulk but perhaps a piece of the puzzle solved in that it does allow input of a copy/paste of a citation rather than formatted data. It is popular with UIUC users who have tried it:<br /><br />http://search.grainger.uiuc.edu/linker/default.asp?paste<br /><br />Lisa Janicke Hinchliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537452039307586904noreply@blogger.com
