Details of a new prototype tool from Microsoft Research: ScholarLynk

“ScholarLynk is a desktop solution aiming to support researchers in building and maintaining ‘reading lists’ of resources in collaboration with other researchers […] tools for (i) constructing reading lists by tagging the desired resources, (ii) seamlessly incorporating remote data sources as desktop resources, and (iii) supporting in-context communication, sharing of reading lists, and collaboration with other users of the ScholarLynk.

The prototype implementation leverages the DRIVER Infrastructure for European Open Access [repository] publications that currently comprises 2,500,000 publication records from over 250 repositories world wide.”
