24. Linking from journals People like links through to full-texts of journal article Problem: changing web addresses, solutions, etc Solutions: persistent URLs and DOIs!

25. Persistent URLs A growing number of journal suppliers provide persistent URLs (also known as stable, durable, persistent etc). DOI (Digital Object Identifiers) are durable urls. JSTOR EBSCO Business Source Complete Copy and paste!

26. Stable URLS: JSTOR Find article (Article locator/search) ” Click on “article information”

27. Stable URLS: JSTOR Copy and paste URL into any document

28. DOIs Most journal suppliers use the DOI system Journal articles are assigned a Digital Object Identifier Permanent identification: The DOI System provides a framework for persistent identification, managing intellectual content, managing metadata, linking customers with content suppliers, facilitating electronic commerce, and enabling automated management of media (www.doi.org)www.doi.org

29. Finding the DOI Find the journal article you want DOI usually listed on article’s “front page”:

30. DOIs (2) Or, in the PDF itself

31. Using DOIs to link to articles Step 1: Find the DOI of a journal article Step 2: Copy the DOI doi:10.1111/j.1467-8527.2007.00392.x Step 3: Add this prefix (the DOI resolver) http://dx.doi.org/ http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1111/j.1467- 8527.2007.00392.x This is now a permanent link to your journal article

32. Web 2.0 Lots of hyperbole and rhetoric! Two key points: Ease of use (wikis vs. websites) Collaboration
