MyJSTOR Beta ending - Save Your Citations!
This just in from JSTOR:
"When the beta period ends on July 30, 2010 the citations you have saved while enrolled in the Beta will not exist in your standard MyJSTOR saved citations list. If you have saved citations within the MyJSTOR Beta and you want to keep a record of them, the best option is to export the citations from your account.
When viewing the list of saved citations, select the citations you wish to save and click on the Export button. This will take you to the Export Citations page where you can select from a number of export options. These include emailing; directly exporting into EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager or RefWorks; or printing.
Unfortunately, the tags and annotations cannot be exported with your citations. As a workaround to create a record of some of your tags and annotations, you could choose to view all citations tagged with a specific tag, and export them as a group. If you choose the “Email Citations” options, you will have an option to include notes with the exported list.. You can use the notes field to include the tags for the citations.
We realize that the technical limitations of the MyJSTOR beta may present difficulties for some of our users, and I’d like to apologize if this is the case for you. I hope that the above information will help, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or difficulties exporting your citations. We’d also love to hear from you about your experiences with the MyJSTOR beta functionality. We’ve created a 5 minute survey about the beta – your feedback would mean a lot."
