[WEB4LIB] Journals data in OPAC

[george at library.caltech.edu]

Caltech's approach has been 'the more, the merrier'.  The library's Online
Journals Database (OJDB) <http://ojdb.caltech.edu> currently includes links
to 8200+ titles -- not all are fulltext [1].  The online catalog
<http://clas.caltech.edu> features local subject headings to aid in
retrieval; Www Fulltext Journals indicates 2876.  We were an early adopter
of local link resolver technology, using a commercial product.  Links to the
OpenURL resolver are liberally sprinkled throughout many of our licensed
databases.
