  1. OL2 Stephanie Taylor Project Manager

  2. Changing reality Forthcoming article in USA… • Over 100,000 document delivery ILL requests / year, but on consistent decrease due to e-docs being directly available to researchers...

  3. What OpenURL brings us • Move metadata via URL from one system to another • Opens many doors for system interaction

  4. New options • Link from citation to resource • Link from citation to external resolver • Known citation linking • Link from citation to local OPACs • Extended services

  5. Citation to resource • Journal title • Journal issue • Article abstract • Article full text • HTML • PDF • Word Document • etc.

  6. Citation to resource • FD co-operative agreements: • JSTOR • EBSCO • Emerald • Catchword / Ingenta Select • CrossRef (for DOI lookup) • Over 120 aggregators / publishers

  7. LinkBuilder • A known citation seeking function • It lets users who have a list of references/citations to enter specific details • It then resolves the metadata and provides appropriate links to full text

  8. Link to local OPAC • Endeavor Voyager • epixtech • ExLibris Aleph • Innopac • Sirsi Unicorn

  9. Link to local OPAC • Monograph holdings • Serial Holdings • Local or consortia OPACs

  10. Extended Services Other uses for metadata: • Extended searching, e.g. author, subject • Search to different target • Create ILL requests Not part of OpenURL, but a side effect

  11. (dirty little secret) • Not all “reference linking” uses OpenURL • OpenURL mostly from source to link resolver • Many links to full-text targets must be constructed following each publisher’s or aggregator’s proprietary URL format

  12. What does it do? • For Library Users – connects library users to resources effectively • For Library Staff – helps manage resources efficiently helps manage user access effusively (!)

  13. Library user perspective • Portal technologies let me search the wide world of information • OpenURL technologies let me see what is available to me in my own world

  14. How does it work for users? The user must be logged to use OL2, so they see their own options. They run a search… The OL2 Resolver asks the following questions: 1. Can I match on ISSN? 2. What services are available to this user? 3. How will I build the URL to go to each available service? If the questions are answered successfully, the links are built and displayed to the user… The user clicks on the link and it is opens in another browser window… The search result contains metadata - Journal title: Journal of management studies ISSN: 0022-2380 Date/volume and issue data: Jul2002/Vol39/Issue 5 Pagination: p.619

  15. Library staff perspective • Portal technologies let me make resources available to users • OpenURL technologies let me make sure users locate resources that are useful and accessable to them • I can give a personalised service that is a realistic option within my work schedule

  16. How does it work for staff? The user must be authenticated to use OL2. So when they run a search, they are searching relevant to them… The OL2 Resolver asks the following questions: 1. Can I match on ISSN? 2. What services are available to this user? 3. How will I build the URL to go to each available service? All set up by library staff, for enlightened control… If the questions are answered successfully, the links are built and displayed to the user… Ease of use – just click to access… Maximize use of resources, e.g.: E-journals Own OPAC Consortial agreements Call on other services for a smooth workflow, e.g.: ILL request form Online bookstore Pay-per-view articles

  17. Management issues • Data management • Local e-journal subscriptions • Aggregator / publishers • New NISO committee • Authorization control • Appropriate link • Legal link

  18. Staff Management Interface • Items • e-journal subscriptions, • OPACs, etc. • Services • Aggregator / publishers • Type of access, e.g. TOC, abstract, full text PDF, full text HTML • Accounts • Authorization control

  19. Holistic solutions • OL2 is not an isolated solution • It is an important channel of communication, but needs to operate with other channels to be effective: • Portal technologies • Interlending/Document Delivery technologies • Library/Information Management systems • From discovery to delivery…

  20. Connecting the pieces Public User Search profiles and Collections Z39.50 Link to non-searchable resources local or web OPAC Other resources http Full-text services XML Meta-data Search Engines A&I services
