The ability to create custom citations by entering form data comes with the Citations Helper. If the Citations Helper is enabled within a site, users will always have at least the ability to create custom citations.

Info
titleNote: OpenURL Resolver

If you use an OpenURL resolver at your institution, you can configure the Citations Helper to use it by setting one Sakai property:

  • googleSearchEnabled@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.ConfigurationService=<base URL of OpenURL resolver>
    • The default value for this property is:
      No Format
      nopaneltrue
      http://worldcatlibraries.org/registry/gateway
      This is a freely available OpenURL resolver offered by WorldCat that resolves OpenURL services for a given citation based on the user's IP address.

2.2 Import Citations from Google Scholar

...

  • googleSearchEnabled@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.ConfigurationService=
    • true: enables the ability to import citations from Google Scholar.
    • false: disabled the ability to import citations from Google Scholar. This is the "out-of-the-box" setting for this property.

3 Starting Sakai

Once the above properties have been set in your sakai.properties file, you can startup Tomcat normally. If you do not have a sakai.properties file, you can create one in a folder named "sakai" in your Tomcat instance's root directory (i.e. /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/sakai/sakai.properties). The properties can be set anywhere in the file, and, if you are using the default values (false), you do not need to include the propertiesIf you are interested in enabling import from Google Scholar, there is a simple registration process that you need to go through in addition to setting the above property to true. Google Scholar presents a link within its search results labeled, "Import to <your Sakai instance name here>." Your Sakai instance name needs to be registered along with a unique id to identify your Sakai instance (usually this is your Sakai instance's url - i.e. coursemanagement.school.edu).

For Sakai 2.4, this process is not yet automated. Please contact Gaurav to register your Sakai instance for use with Google Scholar.
