How To Import Google Search Results into Sente

I’ve mentioned Sente previously, but since then the web import functionality has improved by leaps and bounds. I thought I’d show you just how easy it is to use by making a short screencast.

In this screencast I search for recent articles in Google Scholar, import the results, and then add the full-text PDF from the associated AnthroSource URL.

(Hint: Expand the video to full screen mode.)

When Sente adds support for direct import from AnthroSource search results this will get even easier, but I actually prefer searching AnthroSource via Google Scholar. Other sites which are supported include ProQuest, WorldCat, and Google Books, among others.

(Sorry, Sente is currently only for Mac OS X. Non-mac users might wish to use the open source, cross-platform, Firefox plugin, Zotero which is also pretty neat, if not as pretty to look at.)
