New ADS Functionality for the Curator
In this paper we provide an update concerning the operations of the NASA
Astrophysics Data System (ADS), its services and user interface, and the
content currently indexed in its database. As the primary information system
used by researchers in Astronomy, the ADS aims to provide a comprehensive index
of all scholarly resources appearing in the literature. With the current effort
in our community to support data and software citations, we discuss what steps
the ADS is taking to provide the needed infrastructure in collaboration with
publishers and data providers. A new API provides access to the ADS search
interface, metrics, and libraries allowing users to programmatically automate
discovery and curation tasks. The new ADS interface supports a greater
integration of content and services with a variety of partners, including ORCID
claiming, indexing of SIMBAD objects, and article graphics from a variety of
publishers. Finally, we highlight how librarians can facilitate the ingest of
gray literature that they curate into our system.Comment: Submitted to the Proceedings of Library and Information Services in

New Features in ADS Labs
<p>During 2012 the ADS team has been working hard on updating its services and interfaces to better support our community's research needs. We summarize here the capabilities of our new platform, ADS Labs, and highlight the features that have been developed over the last year: enhanced content, personalized recommendations, richer metrics, a citation tool and a preview of our upcoming integrated search and API. ADS Labs is built on the old tried‐and‐true ADS Abstract Databases, so all of ADS's content is available through it.</p
