What is OpenURL??? OpenURL is an internet equivalent of the index card in the (paper-based) card catalog Packages bibliographic data Can be presented to internet services

What is a Link-Server??? A Link-Server is an internet equivalent of a help desk in the (paper-based) library Present it with bibliographic data or a query It helps you locate the best information in the library

Users get to information in many ways Searching in indexes Surfing the internet Following citations Talking with friends Remembering pathways Reading the content (occasionally) Librarians build (internet) libraries to help users get to information using LINKING and the basic building block

An internet library is built by librarians using electronic resources from many vendors ISI ingenta Journal Publishers Full text DBs EBSCO OPAC A&I service Google

Some services offer links to a few resources ISI ingenta Journal Publishers Full text DBs EBSCO OPAC A&I service Google User

Other services offer links to different resources ISI ingenta Journal Publishers Full text DBs EBSCO User OPAC A&I service Google

Linking is inconsistent and hard to manage ingenta Journal Publishers Full text DBs EBSCO OPAC A&I service Google

Users are confused Who is EBSCO? What is a DOI? Why doesn't my bookmark work?

The 1Cate link server introduces consistent and comprehensive linking throughout the library ISI ingenta Journal Publisher 1Cate Full text DBs EBSCO OPAC A&I service Google

Users see a Library, not a bunch of databases and a linking brand ISI ingenta Journal Publishers 1Cate EBSCO The Library Full text DBs A&I service OPAC Google User

URL How URL’s fail target User's library doesn't subscribe to target target authenticates by IP, user is off campus User's library gets target item in a full-text aggregation User's library has a locally hosted copy of target journal User's country has a nationally hosted copy of target journal target has moved its content without telling source target has become a porn site This is known as the "Appropriate Copy Problem" URL source User

Publisher usage statistics are not deeply meaningful They measure slices, not the whole pie They compare apples with oranges with bananas They measure use rather than need Is there a way to measure everything everywhere in the same way?

Introducing OpenURL Link Logging Every time a user clicks a link to get an article, a link logger records the link. A link logger measures everything used at an institution A link logger measures all resources in the same way, determined by the library A link logger measures desire, not usage Not a pipe dream, a reality!
