Betr.: [WEB4LIB] Building a database for e-journals

[Theo van Veen]

Marlène,

The solution to your problem is OpenUrl,  a person link pages (plp), that act as OpenUrl resolver and the mechanism to let your browser know to which personal link page to link. A simple demonstration can be found at http://www.kb.nl/persons/theo/  .
When you look into these pages you see what mechanism is used to let the browser know where to link to. It would be great if everybody uses the same mechanism. In that case everyone can always link to his own content provider independend of where you found your metadata.

With regards,
Theo van Veen

Good morning,

I have to build a large database to manage and provide access to ca.4500
e-journals for universities members of a consortium. The main difficulty
for me is that people on different locations shouldn't have access to
the same content (as universities don't subscribe to the same journals
packages).
I'd like to have information about the technical solutions you've
choosen in your libraries, and about the time, money and skills you've
needed to realize this project.

Thanks for your help and experiences,

Best regards,

Marlène Delhaye
