[BOAI] Re: Embed DOAJ directly into your site

[Prof. T.D. Wilson]

The link to a DOAJ search is a useful innovation for the editors of OA
journals, but it would be more useful to have the kind of button used by
Google and Bing, in which to embed the search query.  As it is, an editor
must carry out the DOAJ search and then embed the link in some "home-made"
button or link - which is rather more time consuming.  I use the Google,
Scholar Google and Bing buttons on all the papers in Information Research (
http://informationr.net/ir/20-4/infres204.html) and a similar button for
the DOAJ search would be most helpful
