OpenURL What all library staff should know Cybertour | March 16, 2005 | Cindi Trainor

Overview The problem: too much stuff! The solution: openURL Basic terms How does this work? Link resolvers SFX Article Linker More Information

The Problem Libraries often have dozens of A&I databases A&I databases, even library catalog not always aware of ejournal subscriptions Finding an item is not always straightforward Patrons want as few clicks as possible between citation and item

Too Much Stuff!

The Solution: OpenURL ABI/ Inform many others! OPAC Wilson Web Sources Link Resolver Targets Article full text Journal web site Library catalog Google search Citation management (RefWorks, EndNote) Document delivery service Dissertations, ERIC dox, Ebooks, etc. etc…

Basic Terms OpenURL – A NISO standard (Z39.88), by which web links (URLs) are created containing metadata, allowing the linking directly to articles, journals, books and more. Source – a citation database where an image or link appears; this link is an openURL that points to a link resolver. There are many fewer sources than targets. Targets – the items listed in the results window: the full text dbs, Catalog, Ask-a-Librarian, Google. Link Resolver – software that interprets an OpenURL and creates links to targets. Base URL – the URL of a link resolver server. Knowledgebase – the database containing all the library’s holdings, initially established by the library but usually maintained by the vendor of the link resolver.

How does this work? Step One: the openURL is interpreted by link resolver: /?SS_Source=3&genre=article&sid=ProQ:&at itle=Technology%20Trends%20for%20Intran et%20Librarians&title=Online&issn= &date=11%2F01%2F2004&volume=28&iss ue=6&spage=45&SS_docid= &author=Darlene%20Fichter

Breaking down an OpenURL erialssolutions.com/?SS_ Source=3&genre=article& sid=ProQ:&atitle=Technol ogy Trends for Intranet Librarians&title=Online&is sn= &date=11/01 /2004&volume=28&issue= 6&spage=45&SS_docid= &author =Darlene Fichter BaseURL: h.serialssolutions.com Article Title: Technology Trends for Intranet Librarians (Journal) Title: Online ISSN: Date: Vol. 28, Issue 6 Starting page 45 Author: Darlene Fichter

How Does this Work? Step two: Link resolver checks the library’s knowledgebase.

The Knowledgebase Created (entered) by the library, sometimes updated by the link server vendor (SFX, Article Linker) Contains holdings of individual electronic journal titles, collections of journals (e.g., JSTOR), and aggregated database content (e.g., InfoTrac, WilsonWeb, LexisNexis Academic)

How does this work? Step three: the link resolver determines if the data in the OpenURL meets the target’s minimum requirements for creating an item-level link.

Targets’ Minimum Requirements Thanks to Julia Makous, Serials Solutions

How Does this Work? Step four: Link resolver creates links to targets and presents them to the user in menu form.
