SFX scholarly linking

The SFX OpenURL link resolver provides users with context-sensitive links to a range of dynamically created, library-defined services. These services include links to the full text of articles, the library OPAC (Open Public Access Catalog) for local holdings, preferred document-delivery suppliers, related Web based resources and services, and local information repositories. Built with OpenURL XML integration capabilities, SFX functionality can be embedded into other library applications.

Whether hosted by the library itself or delivered as an ExLibris software service, SFX provides a complete set of tools for easily localizing the interface and customizing access to resources, keeping them up to date, and tracking their usage.

Leveraging the large, comprehensive SFX resource KnowledgeBase, users are able to attain the most current and complete electronic content available. Plug-in integration with additional information sources, such as the library catalog, helps institutions optimize the use of local resources.
