In the 1980s I got up to 1,000 or so citations into the Minark database. I think I had between 15,000 and 20,000 cards in all. Clark and I would make cards for each other when we came across appropriate references. How cool was that! I immediately started my own program of price supports for the index card manufacturers.

It all started early in graduate school, when Clark Erickson showed me his library card catalog drawers full of references written on 3×5 index cards. I have an interest in the technicalities of scholarly workflow, so I love to read blog posts like this that track the technological changes that have shaped a scholar’s workflow over decades: Smith posted on his blog that he has 18,000 bibliographic references in his EndNote database! Which got me wondering, how do others stack up? Anyone got him beat? Have you actually read everything in your bibliographic file, or do you, like Smith, add things you “are likely to use”?

The practical result of this for users is that EndNote users can now download a filter that will allow them to search L’Annee online from within EndNote.

L’Annee online is now Z39.50-compliant (Z39.50 is a library tech standard for interoperability).

Again, nice feature, but given the way L’Annee currently updates, a dump 2-3 times a year of thousands of new entries via RSS might be overwhelming! If you use an RSS reader that allows you to filter or search entries, this might work for you.

L’Annee offers an RSS feed of all new entries.

Since L’Annee does not update very frequently, this is less useful than search alerts in other article databases which update weekly or even daily, but still worth a try if you tend to forget to check L’Annee. I haven’t tried it, but the blog post says this searches new updates to the database and sends you an email. The online user guide gives directions for doing this.

Set alerts for searches that you’ve done and saved in your history.

2200 records from Volume 81 (2010) were added in June, and all of Volume 81 (2010) will be available at the end of 2011.

While I was away, the APA blog (which is a useful one to follow in general, especially for calls for proposals for conferences in the US) posted a valuable update on L’Annee online, including both content and technological upgrades.
