Of course, we like to help :-)

We have the following options for importing bibliographical data:

  * Downloading it in a standard format and subsequently  
opening 	the download file from Pyblio.
  * Querying PubMed with automatic import

We are working on several improvements:
  -- Using a browser plugin to directly import the data into  
Pyblio.
  -- Adding support for a library to more simply parse HTML pages
  -- Adding query support for more databases

[Planned] free format parsing (possibly difficult, and certainly  
not tomorrow)

Your OPAC could be served with these features more or less  
easily, depending upon how sophisticated it is programmed ;-)

So be patient, but continue nagging us!

Regards,
	Peter


OPACs do not as a rule present information in a standardised way,
