>The Sakaibrary "Citations Helper" has been released in Sakai 
>2.4.  Operating within the Sakai Resources tool, users can search licensed 
>library databases and manage both citations and persistent links to 
>articles and other online items. The tool leverages existing library 
>technology infrastructure--namely metasearch engines and OpenURL link 
>resolvers--to deliver this functionality, while also providing integration 
>between Sakai and Google Scholar as an alternative approach for resource 
>discovery.  Now that we've completed our work 2.4 release, we're focusing 
>on subject research guides.  Also, we have received a no-cost extension to 
>the grant from the Mellon Foundation to continue our work through Spring 
>2008.
