New ! QR-codes in Limo

You can now easily link to Limo pages via QR-codes.

You can find a QR-code in the top menu on each Limo page. You can scan it with your mobile phone to load a Limo page (For example, your favority search) on your mobile.
Or you can use the Code to copy a link to specific page or record. The QR-code replaces the button "Search history"; but you can still see your search history by clicking the pin icon in the top right corner of the screen.


You will also find the QR-code in the Actions List (Send to) in the details of a record.

New! you can export records to Excel

 You can now export items in Limo to Excel or in CSV-format. 

 

This can be done for records in you results list, your saved items and your loaned items in "My Account".

Tip: if your records contain diacriticals, and you save the export in CSV format, then it is best to open the file in Notepad. If you yet want to open it in Excel, it is best to save it first with UTF-8 coding in Notepad. 

Remember you can export a list of records this way: : 

  • Select the records you want to export by selecting the checkboxes before the thumbnails OR select the checkbox above the list in order to select the first 10 records. (In the results list, you can select up to 50 records at once. To do this, click the button: "CHOOSE TOP 50 RESULTS".)
  • Click the button with the three dots on the right hand side, above the list.
  • Select an export option.

Your search now gets more results - check what has changed in the last Limo release!

As a result of a recent Limo release, searching for e-resources (mainly articles and book chapters), will give you slightly different results than before. The main changes you can experience are:
  • you will find more results for the same search than before. Indeed, more material is now indexed. But a second reason for the higher number of results is that a different search engine is used, that treats search terms differently and finds more results for the same query.
  • also the ranking of the search results is not exactly the same as before, but it should be as good or better than before.
  • a few resource types have been changed; you can now filter your results on Newspapers.

At this moment, there are few known issues:

  • Links from records to the databases Web of Science and Scopus are currently not available, the citations in those databases are not displayed in the records.
  • The filter on authors only works for catalogue records (mainly books and journals), not yet for most articles and books chapters.
  • When you filter your results by Source, you will not see all sources listed for your results set.
These issues are worked on to be solved asap.

Technical problem in Lirias


There currently seems to be a technical problem - potentially not showing all of your publications in Lirias and not providing all results when searching in Lirias. The DSpace repository providing (your) full-texts is also offline, due to a temporary dataserver problem. 
We do our utmost best to fix these issues as soon as possible. Our sincerest apologies for this inconvenience.
