The problem to solveThe problem to solveThe problem to solveThe problem to solve

• Libraries provide access to lots of unconnected content platforms

• Users don’t want to switch platforms and type in metadata to find full text, but link to it directly from where they found it

• Librarians want all of their content to be used to prevent unnecessary document delivery or interlibrary loan and save time and money

• Needed: an efficient way of finding the location of the article the user has access to (the “appropriate copy”)

28

The OpenURL solution: what it The OpenURL solution: what it doesdoesThe OpenURL solution: what it The OpenURL solution: what it doesdoes

• The OpenURL standard was developed to solve this so-called “appropriate copy problem”

• Using OpenURL linking will direct the user to the location of the copy of the article that is accessible for that user, stored locally or on line (i.e. the appropriate copy for that user)
