North Carolina Serials Conference April 2003 Panel Discussion “Linking to Full-Text”

Overview Overview of Linking at Wiley Wiley’s Linking Goals Types of Linking/Considerations Usage Drivers Reference Linking Inbound Linking CrossRef, Aggregators, A&Is, Local Systems Contextual Linking Final Thoughts

Wiley’s Linking Goals Increase internal usage (stickiness, click stream, non-journal products) Increase usage driven to your site Eliminate inactive or ‘Link not Found’ error messages Provide user-friendly and helpful error messages when they do arise Improve process for reporting and resolving bad links Facilitate new linking services/ technology

Wiley’s Linking Goals Create a streamlined and intuitive end user experience with intelligent navigation, whereby it’s clear link goes to another publisher’s site - ideally one that is available to subscriber Offer CrossRef as first option of reference citations Open another window or anchor the source page when linking to reference

Types of Linking Inbound, Outbound, Internal Reference Linking (retrospective linking-past) Citation linking (prospective linking- future) ‘More like this’ linking - more articles by this author, more articles like this, people who read this Contextual linking (genes, chemicals, compounds, concepts)

Considerations Dead links Articles without structured references Interface – what choices are we offering Identifying a link - cost of mark up

Current Usage Drivers Internal Referral Local Systems - OPACS PubMed CAS ISI Web of Knowledge SwetsNet Dialog CrossRef
