S29-02 - Hack the link resolver: a DIY, tailored approach to full text linking in PubMed
Conference Track
1. Managing e-Resources & Licensing
Learning Objectives
Following this session, participants will be able to identify potential problems with the performance and reliability of link resolvers in PubMed, and see how a DIY, tailored approach can improve usability and accuracy of full text linking.
Abstract
Link resolvers are essential research tools. Unfortunately, they do not always integrate well with particular databases and discovery services. This session will discuss Northwestern University's decision to eschew the Alma resolver in favor of a DIY solution tailored to PubMed, resulting in improved usability and accuracy of full text linking.
