One small loss of functionality from proxying access to Scout pertains\u00a0to\u00a0how OneSearch integrates\u00a0with Scout. If users click on a “Results in Scout”\u00a0link in (for example) the Academic Journals results box, they are taken to a result list that does not automatically filter to the Academic Journals source type — instead, they see all of the results for their search terms. This is because proxying links in OneSearch interferes\u00a0with the cookies needed\u00a0for our automatic filtering script to function properly.<\/p>\n

Plum Analytics in Scout<\/h3>\n
At the beginning of the semester, Plum Analytics made\u00a0its altmetrics data available in\u00a0EBSCO Discovery Service\u00a0via a small widget. For an explanation\u00a0of the functionality of this widget, take a look at\u00a0the Plum Analytics blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n After consulting with the UXAG (our User eXperience Advisory Group), links to the\u00a0Plum widget have\u00a0been disabled on\u00a0the Scout search result list. Plum Analytics information can still be accessed by clicking on a specific record — if it’s available for a given record, a link will appear.<\/p>\n Example of the PlumX Metrics link appearing on a\u00a0detailed record in Scout. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n UXAG members agreed that including the Plum widget in the result list ran the risk of cluttering the results and wasn’t necessary if that information can still be accessed from the detailed record.<\/p>\n Accessibility concerns with the widget were also discussed. As it is currently configured, the Tab key cannot be used on Plum Analytics pages to navigate to usage information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Guest access in Scout Some background: guest access allows our users to search Scout from off-campus without needing to log in first — instead, they are prompted to log in only after they try\u00a0to access full text or protected metadata.
