[Web4lib] Google Scholar and OpenURL resolvers [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Dyer, Renata]

Bob,
It's very interesting that you got the IngentaConnect Link showing in
scholar - the same happened in our case and no one here knows how did it
get there....long time ago we used to have few Ingenta titles but this
was so long ago plus who would have notified Google Scholar about it? I
am positive no one here did that.

I have done what you did: notified Scholar via email and nothing
happened as yet. This was a month ago.

My guess is that Ingenta and Google Scholar had some sort of a deal in
the past....

Do other people have the same problem? And more importantly, how do we
resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Renata

Anyone have any bright ideas on how to get in touch with a human at
Google regarding getting Google Scholar to show our link resolver
(assuming the bots haven't completely taken over)?  It used to show up
in Scholar Preferences and was the default for our IP range, but a
couple of months ago we had a hostname change on the server where the
links and holdings file live, and we dropped off their radar.  I've sent
numerous emails to the only Scholar-related address I can find
(scholar-library at google.com), and have been bugging my link resolver
vendor (III) to notify GS, but after over two months, no response from
Google (and close to none from III) and still no link.

Today I discovered that "Lafayette College - FullText at IngentaConnect" 
is now showing up as the default for our IP range, but I have no idea
what that is nor how/why it's there.  (We have very little Ingenta
content.)

Thanks,

Bob Duncan
