* '''Reading full text'''
 
−
** An OATP feed consists of tag records, which contain brief summaries or descriptions, with links to full texts. They do not contains full texts themselves. For some purposes, this austerity is an advantage: OATP tag records are easier to read or skim than an equal number of full texts. But for other purposes, it's a disadvantage: they contain less information than full texts.
 
−
** If you want to skip the austere tag records and jump straight to the tagged texts themselves, then subscribe to the project feed with Google Reader.  Put the "Next" bookmarklet in your browser toolbar.  Clicking on it will take you to the next item in the feed --not the next austere tag record but the full-text item tagged by the next tag record. 
 
−
*** Clearly this recommendation has been obsolete since Google pulled the plug on Reader in July 2014. If you know other tools with the same feature described here, please let us know.

−
* '''Searching'''
 
−
** You can search the whole corpus of OATP tag records inside [http://tagteam.harvard.edu/ TagTeam]. You needn't be a registered TagTeam user to do so.
 
−
*** For details on the flexibility of the TagTEam search engine, see the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/TagTeam_basics#Searching section on searching] in the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/hoap/TagTeam_basics TagTeam manual].
 
−
** If you subscribe to an OATP feed with Google Reader, then you can take advantage of its Google-based searching of the feed all the way back to the feed's beginning, even if you didn't start subscribing until some later date.
 
−
*** Again, this powerful Google Reader feature is no longer available, and we welcome suggestions for other tools with the same feature.

* '''If you have a blog''': 
 
−
** Put a [http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/OATP_mashups#Widgets_to_display_the_feed widget] in the sidebar to display the most recent items from the project feed.
 
−
 
 
−
* '''If you maintain a web page that links to an OATP tag library''':
 
−
** Make sure that the entry for that tag on the [[OATP tags| tags page]] mentions your link to the tag library.  This not only gives you more exposure, but shows how people are using the OATP links.
 
−
** Check the [[OATP tags]] page periodically to see whether the tag has been deprecated and replaced with another.  If it has, then you should link to the library for the new and preferred tag.
 
−
<!-- ** Some OATP tags are not about to change, such as [http://www.connotea.org/tag/oa.new oa.new] and [http://www.connotea.org/tag/oa.france oa.france].  But others are in flux and may change.  For example, since its launch OATP has shifted from singular to plural nouns, deprecating ''oa.repository'' in favor of ''oa.repositories'', and has shifted in the way it treated phrases with spaces, deprecating ''oa.saudiarabia'' in favor of ''oa.saudi_arabia''. -->

* '''If you want to link to OATP output''':
 
−
** To link to the primary project feed (HTML edition): <code><nowiki>http://tagteam.harvard.edu/remix/oatp</nowiki></code> .
 
−
** To link to the tag library for a given ''tag'':  <code><nowiki>http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/3/tag/TAG</nowiki></code> .  For example: <code><nowiki>http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/3/tag/oa.policies</nowiki></code> .
 
−
<!-- restore these when TagTeam supports these kinds of links
 
−
** To link to the tag library of a given ''tagger'':  <code><nowiki>http://www.connotea.org/user/TAGGER</nowiki></code> .  For example:  <code><nowiki>http://www.connotea.org/user/petersuber</nowiki></code> .
 
−
** To link to the tag library of a given ''tagger'' for a given ''tag'':  <code><nowiki>http://www.connotea.org/user/TAGGER/tag/TAG</nowiki></code> .  For example:  <code><nowiki>http://www.connotea.org/user/petersuber/tag/oa.new</nowiki></code> . -->
 
−
<!-- ** To link to an individual ''tag record'':  First go to the ''oa.new'' tag library, [http://www.connotea.org/tag/oa.new oa.new] (or any other relevant tag library).  Scroll or search until you find the tag record to which you want to link.  The URL you want is under the word "info".  For example:  <code><nowiki>http://www.connotea.org/article/fe5f4475e5b415ecd81a9732da2b854a</nowiki></code> . -->
