Build an OpenURL form #30
Comments
We should get some librarian eyes on this to make sure I include the appropriate fields. What are the minimum fields required to get an accurate citation link? What additional fields should we add and why? |
I think it needs to have the same fields as the current MGet It On the journals page, there need to be a field for article title, and the Ken Varnum On Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 2:45 PM, Jon Earley notifications@github.com

That's a good start. I notice when searching for citation linkers they are all a bit different. I wonder why? I would like to explore what fields are most important and makes the most sense to use. Maybe we can start a document to track what fields to include, it's importance and why. The hope to examine this is to make the form as simple as possible and improves usability. And help my understanding of the function of the form. |
Here's an Analytics report showing the OpenURLs generated by people who use the form. Note that this includes people who used the "edit citation" link in the current interface (which we no longer offer). Analytics MGet It Content Drilldown 20160701-20160913-2.xlsx |
http://nj.oclc.org/1cate/ig.html This is the best guide I've found to implementing an OpenURL I've come across. I'll follow this to help build the form. |
If you have questions beyond that, here's the full OpenURL spec. |
Some questions I don't think we've talked about @varnum @jonearley:

@varnum Can you describe the use case for the "refine the original It would be best to have clear error messages, required fields to prevent On Thursday, September 15, 2016, Ken Varnum notifications@github.com

The "refine the original citation" feature was removed to keep things There are cases for adding features, but I think it's in the best interest On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 12:55 PM, Ken Varnum notifications@github.com

I misunderstood where this issue was. I thought you were referring to the I agree with Jon, that we keep the interface on the impact side of design. On the link resolver page I have only observed people click the On Thursday, September 15, 2016, Jon Earley notifications@github.com

So there are two contexts:
|
I think this looks good. A few labeling suggestions:
|
Looks good. Is the style of the toggle buttons (Journal Article / Book) in keeping with Trevor's templates? They look at a bit Windows 95-y. "Corporation" should be "Corporate". |
Yeah, they are the more neutral looking buttons. |
+1 for @jonearley leaving out the "Genre" drop down menu that we currently have in the citation linker page. I know there was discussion and some questioning about the genre dropdown in previous PARC meetings. (@varnum maybe you remember this?) |
You'll have to refresh my memory on the genre dropdown. It's missing from the form here without any real reason on my end. |
The genre is theoretically important to distinguish the kind of article, and if there were multiple items with the same title and author but no identifier provided, might help 360 Link get to the right one. In practice, I think it's more helpful for Ask a Librarian staff for troubleshooting The only place in PARC minutes I could find genre referenced was in the 4 November 2015 meeting, when we were talking about the previous re-skinning of the 360 Link native interface. There, it was simply pointed out that, "Looking at “Genre”, it looks repetitive, but helps to refine the search. It is there for (1) article/journal and (2) book". A copy of those minutes is attached. |

@jonearley What if we had something like this for the format and genre (if we decide we need it) selection: (we could place genre selection at the bottom of the form and indicate it's optional if this is a feature primarily used by librarians) |
Is this available on dev or earleyj for testing? |
I have the UI version here: http://earleyj.www.lib.umich.edu/openurlform/. Although it doesn't generate the OpenURL yet. I'm still coding that part and hope to have it ready to test this week. |
Great! I think it could use a bit of testing, when it's generating actual OpenURLs (we can start with committee, and probably Pam MacKintosh). |
The form is functioning and generating OpenURLs. I sent an email to the link resolver project group for feedback. |
Seems we have some refinement to do after receiving feedback from the group. I'm going to create issues over at https://github.com/mlibrary/openurlform to track. |
@varnum do you think it would be OK to close this issue? I think any more feedback coming in could be tracked at the openurlform repo. We've address the major issues and I believe this form is ready for use. |
Yes, sure. On Thursday, October 13, 2016, Jon Earley notifications@github.com wrote:
