The problem to solve
•
•
•
•
27
Libraries provide access to lots of
unconnected content platforms
Users don’t want to switch platforms and
type in metadata to find full text, but link to
it directly from where they found it
Librarians want all of their content to be
used to prevent unnecessary document
delivery or interlibrary loan and save time
and money
Needed: an efficient way of finding the
location of the article the user has access to
(the “appropriate copy”)
The OpenURL solution: what it does
28
•
The OpenURL standard was
developed to solve this so-called
“appropriate copy problem”
•
Using OpenURL linking will direct the
user to the location of the copy of the
article that is accessible for that user,
stored locally or on line (i.e. the
appropriate copy for that user)
The OpenURL solution: basics
•
At the core is a tailored list of journals with
their locations and date range (the
“knowledge base”)

List is different for every library

The list is part of a software
application called a Link Resolver
