The essence of Heurist is to be able search the database for relevant material and bookmark a selection of Heurist records for your own use. You can build upon any resources you have gathered together and tagged and you are encouraged to add your own records and tag or annotate those records in ways that are useful to you or a workgroup you belong to. Anytime you see a record or use and/or interest to other Heurist users (and/or peers in your research community), the notifcation system can be used to let those researchers know that you have found a resource that they might find useful and interesting.
Basic Workflow
To start with you may simply wish undertake a search to see what resources are available that may already meet your needs.
To build up a collection of records, you can tag any of the records you find in Heurist and make them your own, you can add your own records or harvesting weblinks from a webpage or the files stored in your browser.
To make the records relevant to you and easy to retrieve you can tag any of the records and rate the record, add text to that record and perhaps leave a comment for others to reply to.
To share your finds with others you can use the notification function and have a record brought to their attention via email and you can tag them with specific workgroup tags so that your workgroup colleagues can retrieve these new records when they click on a Workgroup Tags search.
To gather together a set of citations for a printed bibliography, to map events to GoogleMaps or to publish project information online on a website you can use the various output functions of Heurist.
