Discovery Service#
Many libraries in Germany use Resource Discovery Services (RDS) for inventory management. BibSonomy/PUMA provides a direct RDS interface and is supported by mostly all university libraries in Hessen (HeBIS-Verbund).
Here is a list with the libraries that certainly support BibSonomy/PUMA:
- Suchportal der ULB Darmstadt
- Suchportal Frankfurt am Main
- JustFind UB Gießen
- KARLA II - Das Rechercheportal der Universität Kassel
- Rechercheportal der Universitätsbibliothek Mainz
- Katalog Plus - Das Rechercheportal der Universität Marburg
- FILIP - Suchportal der Hochschul- und Landesbibliothek Fulda
- Katalog Plus der Hochschul- und Landesbibliothek Rhein-Main
- THMfind - Suchportal der Technischen Hochschule Mittelhessen
You may ask your library to find out if BibSonomy/PUMA is supported. The following instructions describe how you can store publications from the library catalogue directly in your bibliography in BibSonomy/PUMA.
- Use the library's HeBIS interface to find a publication. In this example publications about "textmining" are searched.
- Click on "remind" or "send to". If a menu appears, choose PUMA (some libraries don't provide a menu but proceed directly to the next step).
- Fill out the form and click on "save". The entry will be saved in PUMA under publications.
