[Taxacom] BHL new look revealed

[Kalfatovic, Martin]

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. We'll look into the UI issue that's raised. 

The UI problem seems that we are highlighting the first result type (Books/Journals) even when it is a null set.

Perhaps that first results returned should highlight: a) none of the types of results b) the one with the most results c) just the result numbers (i.e. the number returned).

Thanks,
Martin

Perhaps the emphasis should be on a new <b>look</b> revealed - and, from what someone said, searching is faster.  Work on creating many of the links must be in progress. I tried looking for a some names and decided that, at present, it will not be valuable for me. A search for each of Stipa arida  and Achnatherum aridum yielded no results; a seach for Stipa yielded 3, one of which was for an animal that includes the string stipa in its name.  So, nice idea - keep working on it.

... and to IF I might add ... which already has links to the protologue for > 80,000 names for the benefit of mycologist (you know, those people who study the 'Forgotten Kingdom') world wide.

On Monday, the biodiversity heritage library <http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/>  has revealed its new look. Congratulations

 

As Rod in his blog <http://iphylo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/new-look-biodiversity-heritage-library.html>  explains, one new feature is access to parts of the journals (the unit they serve), that is articles. A big step ahead. I hope <https://plus.google.com/u/0/115599971535973973155/posts/Ddxk49k4BwC>  this is only the first step towards even more direct access to the treatments themselves, which would allow to link from IPNI or Zoobank directly to the protologs, and in general to first or redescriptions, as well as more efficient extraction of them and thus deal with the content many of us want. But this will need quiet some input from our side, but why not contribute for something that most of us just consume for free?

 

Donat
