How To Import Google Search Results into Sente

by Kerim on August 30th, 2008

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.)
