Wandora's HelMet extractor performs a title, author or ISBN search to the database of Helsinki city library and transforms results to a topic map in Wandora. HelMet extractor is basically a front end to the HelMet data API. At the moment (9th of June 2011) the HelMet library database contains little over 672000 bibliographical entities i.e. books, magazines, audio records etc. Reader should acknowledge that the Helsinki city library is a general library and focuses on literature written or translated to Finnish language. Titles in other languages are minority. However, if you are a fan of Finnish literature, I suspect the database is a wonderful source of information.
Wandora's HelMet extractor starts with a menu option File > Extract > Bibliographical > HelMet extractor.... Extractor opens up a dialog window used to express the search query. Search type is selected with tab options. Select tab labeled as Title to perform title search, for example.
Notes
- It looks like the API has been upgraded (or the documentation has been upgraded) and contains now an option for paging. Current (2011-06-10) version of Wandora's HelMet extractor doesn't support paging option.
