telbib and FUSE
The Telescope Bibliography (telbib) and FUSE are PHP/MySQL tools created by the ESO Library. telbib is used to track ESO-related papers, store additional metadata, and generate statistics or reports. FUSE is a full-text search tool that semi-automatically scans defined sets of journal articles for organisational keyword sets, while providing highlighted results in context. Both tools rely heavily on the ADS web services for bibliographic metadata.
As of March 2011, telbib is used by ESO and NRAO (a modified version called "NRAOpapers"). FUSE is in use at ESO, STScI, Gemini, Subaru, the Carnegie Observatories, CFHT, the John G. Wolbach Library at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as well as at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA, India), and the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomia (IAR-CONICET). Both systems have been developed and are maintained by the librarians at ESO. For further information, contact us at library@eso.org.
The following presentations provide information on the design, workflow, and features of telbib and FUSE. For articles on bibliometrics and other issues related to the ESO Libraries, see our page on ESO libraries publications.
