October: OpenURL Link Resolvers.

Connotea - 59 min 2 sec ago
 October: OpenURL Link Resolvers.Ferguson and L ChristineComputers in Libraries 24 (9), 17-24 (Oct 2004)This article examines 11 vendors of and their corresponding OpenURL link resolver products, also called a link server or link resolver. It also discusses the uses of OpenURL link resolver in libraries. The vendors are: EBSCO, LinkSource; Endeavor Information Systems, LinkFinderPlus; Ex Libris, SFX; Fretwell-Downing Informatics, 0L2; Geac, VLink; Innovative Interfaces Inc., WebBridge; Openly Informatics, 1Cate; Ovid Technologies, LinkSolver; Serials Solutions, Article Linker; Sirsi Corp., Sirsi Resolver; and TDNet, TOUR. Librarians are forced to navigate a host of options for linking users to a variety of materials, both print and electronic. One of the most popular linking mechanisms to emerge is the OpenURL link resolver. The beauty of the OpenURL link resolver is that it allows the local librarian to control what links do and do not appear to users, thus solving the now-infamous appropriate copy problem. With the help of an OpenURL link resolver, a user will be presented only with links to resources that his or her institution subscribes to. The technology that powers an OpenURL link resolver can be complicated, and the choice of which product to purchase can be confusing. It is the aim of this discussion to demystify a very powerful linking solution for libraries.Posted by kh287 to OpenURL on Fri Oct 17 2008 at 15:46 UTC | info | related

OpenURL Link Resolver System

del.icio.us - Tue, 06/30/2009 - 16:00
"OpenURL is a type of URL that contains resource metadata for use, primarily in libraries and consortia. It is a mechanism for transporting metadata and identifiers describing a publication, for the purpose of context sensitive linking. The OpenURL is indeed, a way of organizing meta-data in a URL and pointing it to a destination. It describes the cited object. It helps in accessing appropriate copy of reference resources."
