OpenURL Referrer for Firefox 2.4 Description

"OpenURL Referrer is a browser extension that can take certain kinds of citations"

Editor: OpenURL Referrer is a browser extension that can take certain kinds of citations on the web and convert them to direct links to one of your local library's databases. This can be accomplished thanks to OpenURL, a powerful technology that packages bibliographic information into a format that many internet services can understand. OpenURL Referrer can produce links for three different kinds of citations:
Google Scholar Results

Google Scholar (http://scholar.Google.com), launched in November 2004, is a search engine designed to help users locate books, articles, and citations using the traditional Google Search interface.

For each article on the Google Scholar results page, OpenURL Referrer will create a link to your local library's database, as shown in the picture below. (The "Find in a Library" buttons are the links produced by OpenURL Referrer.) If your library has access to the article, the link will bring you to a page from which you can access the article. These links are similar to the "Institutional Access" links created by Google. However, OpenURL Referrer can produce links for any library that supports OpenURL, not just the ones that have registered with Google.

Google News Archive
In September of 2006, Google introduced the "News Archive Search" (http://news.google.com/archivesearch), a search engine covering extensive backfiles of many major newspapers. OpenURL Referrer will insert OpenURLs in the search results of this service as well.

Web COinS
Recent work has gone into developing a way of embedding machine-readable citations into HTML. The result is COinS (Context Objects in Spans). With COinS, the publisher of a blog, electronic journal, or any other online resource can create citations that can easily be converted to OpenURL links by tools like OpenURL Referrer. COinS can be found in popular websites such as Open WorldCat and Wikipedia. you can free download OpenURL Referrer for Firefox 2.4 now.
