Resumen: SFX is all about linking. Students used to working on the Web expect to be able to easily link from one information resource to another.Although much of a library's collection is in electronic form, and is accessed via the Web, library information resources act independently from each other. For instance, when a student finds a journal article in an article database, she has to do another separate search in the catalog to see if the library has the journal in which the article is published.

Resumen: The topic of electronic journals (e-journals) dominated the serials literature from 2000 to 2003. This review is limited to the events and issues within the broad topics Of cost, management, and archiving. Coverage of cost includes such initiatives as PEAK, JACC, BioMed Central, SPARC, open access, the 'Big Deal,' and 'going e-only. ' Librarians combated the continued price increase trend for journals, fueled in part by publisher mergers, with the economies found with bundled packages and consortial subscriptions. Serials management topics include usage statistics; core title lists; staffing needs; the 'A-Z list' and other services from such companies as Serials Solutions; 'deep linking'; link resolvers such as SFX; development of standards or guidelines, such as COUNTER and ERMI, tracking of license terms; vendor mergers; and the demise of integrated library systems and a subscription agent's bankruptcy. Librarians archived print volumes in storage facilities due to space shortages. Librarians and publishers struggled with electronic archiving concepts, discussing questions of who, where, and how. Projects such as LOCKSS tested potential solutions, but missing online content due to the Tasini court case and retractions posed more archiving difficulties. The serials literature captured much of the upheaval resulting from the rapid pace of changes, many linked to the advent of e-journals.

Resumen: As the cost of periodicals continues to rise, libraries must consider the value of titles currently acquired or subscribed to. At Yale University's Cushing/Whitney Medical Library (CWML), staff employed an evidence-based librarianship (EBL) approach that combined use data from several disparate sources to make the best decisions regarding the cancellation of specific journals' print format. These best-evidence sources include the following: a 3-month usage study of 1249 current unbound print journals; statistics about 3465 MEDLINE-indexed electronic journals accessed via ExLibris' linking tool SFX; statistics from the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the American Association of Health Sciences Libraries; and various traditional library statistics.

Resumen: With the introduction in 2001 of SFX technology, libraries can now offer a context-sensitive linking method for researching their resources and collections, enabling the final user to obtain the 'appropriate copy' of desired information. Investigates the use of SFX (renamed SIRIO, or Information Services and Online Resources) at the University of Brescia's three libraries -- Economics/Law, Engineering and Medicine -- from January to April 2006. Analysis of about 11250 SIRIO-SFX queries over this period showed, inter alia, that 75% of them requested clickthrough to other menu services. The Library of Medicine had the highest ratio of query to clickthrough (84%), and at the three libraries overall the highest such ratio was for the link to full-text do cuments (85%), followed by access to local printed catalogues (55%), with demand for interlibrary services at only 12%. Quite striking was, firstly, the high rate of non-use (25%) of any type of service by users who had pressed the SIRIO-SFX button; and, secondly, the lack of interest shown by users in most of the 14 clickthrough services available. Suggests possible explanations for the research results. Original article in Italian. (Author abstract - amended)

Resumen: In January 2002, the University of Iowa Libraries introduced its link server—linking related content from one information provider to another—using Ex Libris SFX software. Three basic services appeared on day 1 of the link server’s implementation: (1) citation reference linking to full-text electronic journal articles; (2) linking to holdings in the local catalog; and (3) persistent linking to an electronic reference service. The system is now integrated with more than seventy-five licensed databases and includes links to more than 16,000 full-text journal subscriptions. New developments beyond citation reference linking include links to Journal Citation Reports, Ulrichsweb, and interlibrary loan. This article describes the planning and initial implementation process of the SFX server.

Resumen: This paper provides insights into the concepts underlying the OpenURL framework for open reference linking in the web-based scholarly information environment. The discussion starts by briefly reiterating the problems with reference linking that were initially described and later addressed as part of the SFX research. Some notions crucial to the understanding of the issues at stake are briefly described: extended service-links, closed and non-context-sensitive linking, open and context-sensitive linking. Then, the paper details the OpenURL framework and reports on its current deployment in the scholarly information environment. As an illustration of the penetration of the OpenURL framework, special attention is accorded to a prototype in which the OpenURL framework is integrated with the DOI/CrossRef linking solution.

Resumen: Jenny Walker explains how linking technology can overcome the frustrating problem of 'dead' or inappropriate links. Linking is as pervasive as the web. Web users all recognise that clicking on hyperlinked text in a document will cause a link to be made to another document - or another section of the same document. Such links have revolutionised our world. When reading an online news article, we are now able to hyperlink to background reading, previous reporting on the subject, information about the news location, the current weather conditions there, and so on. Such links, which are intended to aid navigation and thereby enrich our experience, are embedded in the source document at the time of creation, either by the creator of the document, or by automated means.

Resumen: Reports on the ground-breaking work by Herbert Van de Sompel while associated with Ghent University, Belgium, and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which has led to the creation of an open linking framework for scholarly research. The open linking framework proposed by Van de Sompel puts libraries firmly in control, allowing them to determine the scope of their institution’s interlinked research environment both in terms of extent and range of link services offered to their users. It places librarians in the “trail-blazers” profession, predicted by Vannevar Bush in 1945: they enthuse in the task of establishing useful links between resources. The creation of such an open linking environment requires the collaboration of all the stakeholders in the information industry; and underlying the success of this is an emerging standard, the OpenURL, now on a fast track path to acceptance by NISO. Van de Sompel’s research work led to the development of the SFX server technology, which was demonstrated in operation at both the Ghent University and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Ex Libris subsequently purchased the SFX server technology from Ghent University in early 2000.
