-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: Link resolvers - Knowledge Base -- Steve Oberg Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 15:38:11 -0400 From: Scott Bernier <SBernier@epnet.com> I am unsure if it is considered in poor taste for vendors to post to the list, so I thought it might be helpful to let you know that EBSCO's link resolver, LinkSource, has been available since the first of this year (after the Serials Review article was published). Information on LinkSource can be found at: http://www.linkresolver.com Regards, Scott Bernier Communications Manager EBSCO Publishing sbernier@epnet.com -----Original Message----- Subject: RE: Link resolvers - Knowledge Base -- Sharon Wiles-Young From: "Oberg, Steve" <STOBERG@TAYLORU.EDU> Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 10:06:24 -0500 If by link resolvers you mean things like LinkFinderPlus or SFX, an excellent article comparing the major players (SFX from Ex Libris, LinkFinderPlus from Endeavor, OpenURL Resolver from SIRSI, and 1Cate) appeared in _Serials Review_ vol. 28, no. 4 (Winter 2002), entitled "Context-Sensitive Linking: It's a Small World After All" and authored by Maria D. D. Collins and Christine L. Ferguson. For those who have access to ScienceDirect, the online version of the article may be accessed via the following URL (those who don't will be "asked" to pay a way-too-hefty fee of $30, I think): http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=GatewayURL&_method=citationSear ch&_uoikey=B6W63-47RHXT5-3&_origin=EMFR&_version=1&md5=38ea76db08505687c 6d5a851f6be40a1 Steve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steve Oberg Electronic Resources Librarian & Assistant Professor http://www.tayloru.edu/library/ Editor, Bits & Bytes Column, _Serials Review_ http://sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00987913 > -----Original Message----- > Subject: Link resolvers - Knowledge Base > From: Sharon Wiles-Young <slw0@lehigh.edu> > Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 08:40:06 -0400 > > Hello, > I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the > differences in link resolvers and their respective knowledge > bases.
