CUNY librarians have agreed to a 60 day trial of bX Recommender starting Monday April 11.
bX Recommender works with SFX and with the universe of SFX user-choices across the world to generate citations similar to the one that generated the first SFX link. In other words, when the user has found a citation they like, bX Recommender will suggest other citations that other people who looked at the first citation have also looked at. It’s a version of “others have also liked…” that appears in a variety of other websites.
This additional information will appear in the SFX menu – it will separate the additional citations into those we have access to full-text and those we don’t. This post from the University of Minnesota Libraries might give you an idea of how it will look.
