OpenMagazineCustomSearch: a survival strategy
In my last post, I discussed EBSCO’s announcement of its newly exclusive content, and my budget concerns, and the strange fact that most of these magazines currently provide their content for free, and the fact that we can now create our own search engines using Google Custom search.
Here is the result of my first-try experiment.
If you want recent articles, it works best with a year in the search box.
I know, it certainly does not offer any of the wonderful filters and metatags or sorting abilities of subscription databases. It’s messy. It’s merely a survival strategy.
Anyway, it’s possible. Here’s a link.
google.load(‘search’, ‘1’, {language : ‘en’});
google.setOnLoadCallback(function(){
var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(‘015916367782967805207:axqhgchdlhy’);
customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.SMALL_RESULTSET);
customSearchControl.draw(‘cse’);
}, true);
google.load(‘search’, ‘1’, {language : ‘en’});
google.setOnLoadCallback(function(){
var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(‘015916367782967805207:axqhgchdlhy’);
customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.SMALL_RESULTSET);
customSearchControl.draw(‘cse’);
}, true);
