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.
