Bookmarks

Heurist is a collaborative system in which records are (in most cases) shared between all users. But any given user will only be interested in a small subset of records, and will want to record personal information about each record.

Bookmarks allow users to flag the records that interest them and to add personal information to each record, such as tags, ratings, notes, password reminders and triggers to send notification emails.

To bookmark a record, either click on the greyed out star or check the box left of the record and click bookmark

After bookmarking, the record will show with a yellow starwhen in All records search mode.

Deleting Bookmarks

You can delete the bookmark to, say, a journal, from My References without deleting it from the database - deleting it will not alter any journal article references which refer to it. However alterations to the bibliographic information in the Public Information section of the record WILL be carried through to any resources which reference it.

Personal bookmarks in Heurist have the following functions and capacities:

Personal ‘favourites’ homepage puts most commonly used resources one click away
Bookmarking of records allows development of a personal subset of the shared database
Tagging with multi-word tags, tag disambiguation and clickable lists of suggestions
Tag management (popularity, deletion, combining, renaming)
Instant search by tags, incl. partial matching, following tags to related records
Rating of records, sorting of search results by ratings
Storage of personal password reminders attached to bookmarks for password protected resources
Creation of personal saved searches grouping records for particular purposes
Single-click on multiple records - tag, keyword, change ownership, (un)bookmark, delete
