Software technologies

Thanks to the OpenURL technology, it is possible to link to NILDE the most used bibliographic and citation databases, with a great benefit for both users and librarians.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System, best known as ADS, is a site for bibliographic research aimed at researchers in the astrophysical and physical field.
It is run by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) with the NASA support, and retains three databases for a total of nearly 9 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics and arXiv e-prints (Open Access Repository). Its concultation is free.

RefWorks is a web program that allows to create, organize, share personal bibliographic databases, make bibliographies and incluse quotes when editing documents.

Elsevier Admin Tool is a web service that allows librarians to indipendently administer the accounts of the institution they belong to.

The website myCAS provides the key contact/administrator of the SciFinder Scholar database the ability to access, by username and password, all the administrative functions available for the configuration of the database itself.

NILDE releases its internal data through APIs, whose documentation is available at this link.
