Nice script. You might like to use the JSON API to make the script more efficient. Also you’ll need to put a small delay in the main “page” loop or there’s a risk the user’s IP might get automatically blocked

Issue theme: “LaTeX Academic Work Bench”

Dear LaTeX and TeX Users,

Since its first edition in 2005, the PracTeX Journal has presented
a wide range of articles on the practical use of LaTeX and TeX.
Among these articles are ones that describe tools and techniques
that can be used in teaching.

The PracTeX Journal 2010-1 issue has the theme “LaTeX Academic Work Bench”.

The goal of this issue is to present ideas on the use of LaTeX tools
for education, teaching, and classroom purposes. We are looking for
articles that can discuss the development of the tools, and their use and effectiveness. Actual examples and LaTeX sources are encouraged.

** Scope
The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to :
- tools that assist the students/authors in preparing
graphics, indexes, bibliographies, and other parts of documents;
- text manipulation tools;
- tutorials;
- short videos;
- free or almost free tools;
- teaching texts;
- homework styles;
- cross-platform tools.

We encourage you to submit original papers describing your experiences
using LaTeX and TeX tools in an academic setting, and also papers
on tool development work in progress or completed.

** Submission Guidelines:
If you would like to submit an article or technical note for
publication please contact the editors pracjourn@tug.org.
We will work with you to prepare the article. Also see http://tug.org/pracjourn/submit.html

Hopefully this can help someone else.

I’ve a question about syncing a GROUP with BibDesk. I have the following URL (I’ve hashed-out values for privacy):

http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/group/#####/?rsskey=###############&fieldmap=posted-at:date-added&do_username_prefix=0&key_type=4

This URL is a group I’ve created that is private, hence the rsskey entry. When I put the URL in a browser, it downloads a file as I’d expect. However, when I follow the steps listed and try to add this URL to BibDesk, I get an error. The error says “The operation could not be completed.” and goes on to indicate that “No other information is available about the problem.” Additionally, I get a warning “!” icon to the right of the external library name in BibDesk.

Ideas?

As an aside: I’m trying to share resources as I come across them with my dissertation committee. I have moved from Zotero to CiteULike, as I think I’ll have better luck with CiteULike’s focus on collaboration, sorting, blogging/forum creation, etc. CiteULike + Zotero-esque browser plug-in would be ideal, as my workflow right now is (1) Pull citation from journal via Zotero plug-in; (2) Export citations from Zotero to CiteULike; (3) Upload files as needed.

Thanks for the post, dario!

Would I put the following in as the URL: http://citeulike.org/bibtex/user/dartar?fieldmap=posted-at:date-added&do_username_prefix=0&key_type=4

BUT instead of dartar I would put my CiteULike user?

Thanks!

All in all, a rather nice outcome. Thanks again.
