SFX and WilsonWeb

[Kenneth R. Irwin]

Hi folks,

Is anyone using the SFX capabilities of the new WilsonWeb interface?

As nearly as I can tell, the *outgoing* SFX functionality (from WilsonWeb 
to content from other vendors) is really lame: it seems to link only on the 
database level and not the article level; and unless you host your own SFX 
server, you don't have much control over what databases you link to. (It's 
weird and complicated; I'll not try to explain it here.)

If you have had a different experience (able to link on the article level, 
or able to tailor the outgoing links to databases you have locally), I'd 
really like to hear about it. I'd like to believe that no one would have 
implemented a system as bad as this one seems to me. I hope it's because 
I'm over-looking something.

Also, is anyone using their local openURL-product-of-choice to link *to* 
WilsonWeb fulltext? I'd like to hear about that too.

Thanks,
Ken
