bX Recommender Service

This is to inform you that the bX Recommender Service has just been activated in SFX.

The basic settings of the service were determined during the trial run. Here's a listing of the major ones:

1. At the top, the explanatory text says "Other people who looked at this also looked at"
2. Up to 3 recommendations are shown up front
3. "View More.." shows up to 7 additional recommendations (for a total of 10)
4. If a recommendation is available in fulltext to the user, the title is underlined and a fulltext icon shown
5. The "Save Citations" option includes EndNote and RefWorks

Sample Find it menu with recommendations:

We hope you will find this new service useful.
Please send your comments to Dean Bryan and myself.
