Rethinking the role of an OpenURL link resolver
"I think we should rethink the role of an OpenURL link resolver, for our patrons and our digital services for them, and for internal library tech infrastructure. We should be asking a bit more of such software than we are, and utilizing it more fully. [...]"

Galyani Moghaddam, Golnessa and R. Urs, Shalini (2006) Electronic Scholarly Journals: A Review of Technical Issues in Digital Environment. Journal of Educational Media & Library Sciences (JoEMLS) 44(2, Winter):pp. 235-245.

"Scholarly journals are known as the most important medium for scholarly communication since long time back. As technology transforms the flow of information and idea everywhere, it changes the nature of scholarly communications and publishing of scholarly journals as well. The electronic scholarly publishing rapidly produced an expectation, among researchers of the availability of articles at their desktop, rather than the previous scenario of visiting the library to read a print journal issue. There are lots of technological improvements in electronic journals publishing. The present paper looks at some of technical issues in electronic publishing such as DOI, DOI-X, CrossRef, Citation/Reference Linking, OpenURL, SFX and MetaLib which are being used in the World Wide Web."
