I have already written about support for targeted browsing in Sente for iPad, which will be the way many people add references to their libraries, but there are some other methods that I would like to describe, including the ability to add books by providing only their ISBN value, or journal articles by providing only their DOI or PubMed ID.
If you click on the + icon at the top of the reference list, you will see the other options for adding references to the current library:
The New Blank Reference simply brings up a reference editor in which you can enter the citation data manually.
The Lookup by DOI, ISBN, etc. option brings up the following screen, in which you can enter one of the common identifiers for a reference. Depending on the type of the identifier, Sente will look in an appropriate on-line data source for the citation details and bring up the reference editor with the data filled our for you. Just like in targeted browsing, you have the option of reviewing the data, making changes, and then adding it to your library, or canceling the process.
Here is what it looks like after searching for the ISBN value above:
I will discuss the Import option in a later post.
Excellent! Thanks for including this. This will make adding single citations much quicker.
