OpenURL linking LinkFinderPlus
Presented by Joost Gerdes Product Sales Manager
Endeavor Information Systems
27
The problem to solve

• Libraries provide access to lots of unconnected
  content platforms
• Users dont 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)

28
The OpenURL solution what it does

• 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)

29
The OpenURL solution basics

• At the core is a tailored list of journals with
  their locations and date range (the knowledge
  base)

Lab. Econ. www.sciencedir Lancet
www.sciencedirect.co. Lancet
sciserv.somewhere.nl Lancet
www.thelancet.com Lingua
www.sciencedirect Lithos
www.sciencedirect
30
The OpenURL solution basics

• List is different for every library
• The list is part of a software application called
  a Link Resolver
• Elseviers OpenURL link resolver is
  LinkFinderPlus, on site or hosted
