A more permanent fix for the ISI web of knowledge scraper

Thomson Reuters also appears to update the website quite often.

Instead, I suggest that the scraper could pull most of the bibliographic data from their SOAP service. Here is a FAQ for the service: http://isiwebofknowledge.com/products_tools/products/related/webservices/ws_faq/

Unfortunately, institutions have to add the following to their EZproxy configuration files in order to enable off-site access:
