OpenURL Linking Examples

After reading about Hosted 1Cate you probably want to seem some examples. Here are just a few that should give you an idea of the functionality that the 1Cate System can provide.

Searchable Alphabetical Journal Lists

You can see an example of a searchable journal list at University of Illinois at Springfield

OpenURL Links from Citation Databases

OpenURL compatible databases such as EBSCO, Proquest, Gale, Infotrac, FirstSearch, and many others, offer links from citations to your 1Cate Link-server. These are similar to the links that are offered to your OPAC to check for local holdings, with these additional benefits:

• Since the 1Cate Link-server knows about ALL of your full-text resources, users are directed to a list of all locations where they can get access, including your print materials and titles in aggregator databases.
• If the full text provider supports OpenURLs, the user will be taken directly to the article rather than being dumped at an opening screen or bibliographic record.
• Extended links can be constructed on the fly from the information in the OpenURL. For example a link to do an additional search by article author can be offered.
• If you do not subscribe to the title being searched, you can offer links to more information about the journal, and even offer document delivery options directly at the point of need.

Here's an example of an OpenURL link generated by Firstsearch, showing the "extended services" that can be added:

Here's what happens when a request comes for an item not in local holdings:
