Add bulk export functionality to Articles+
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Is your feature request related to new functionality not yet included in the product? Please describe.
In Articles+, only one "my favorites" record can be exported at a time. This is a request to be able to export them in bulk to some other file, either as a csv, a Zotero collection, or some other list.

Problem as described by original submitter (Faculty member Letitia Campbell) as reported to the eResources Troubleshooting email
I used the Articles+ tool to assemble a list of articles as "favorites" with an intention of sending these to a student who is doing research under my supervision. Once they were assembled as a list, though, there is not a way to export the articles as a group into another file -- either as a csv, a zotero collection, or some other list. This would be a great function to have, and could have other purposes, beyond just working with students. I'm not clear about whether there are other database search functions that allow different kinds of export, or other options for approaching these kinds of literature review searches with exporting lists in mind. Maybe there was a better way to approach this, and Articles+ just isn't the right tool for the job. Thanks for considering, though!
This is functionality that exists natively with Primo VE, but we don't have the "pin/saved" button in our top menu. In our implementation, pinning an article sends an animation of the pin to the top of the page, but then it disappears. Need to find out why we don't have this, and if it would cause issues to restore it.
