[Web4lib] Federated search products and Full Text/PeerReviewlimiting

[Jim Campbell]

I've been away and am just catching up on this interesting thread. One added
point to the issue of links to titles that aren't available.  It would be
nice if the stats packages from the resolver vendors included a list of
unavailable journals with data on how often they were requested and what
years were needed. That would give libraries a chance to do something about
the turnaways.

Given that resolver use will never be a complete picture of journal use,
data on what's not found really would be more useful than the data most
resolvers now provide on what was found, though adding that useful feature
would make life harder for the salespeople who could no longer just say "and
of course we're fully COUNTER compliant" and go on to something more
interesting.
