TH: I have heard that you are working with Ingenta and EBSCO on some form of linking from Google Scholar results. Can you explain what you are doing and why?
AA: The Library Links program requires participating libraries to have a link resolver. However, only a small fraction of libraries worldwide have link resolvers, and this number is growing fairly slowly even though Ex Libris provides ScholarSFX, a limited-feature link resolver as a free and hosted solution. This leaves a large number of researchers unable to take advantage of what their libraries have licensed as a part of their normal search workflow. We’re trying to figure out ways to solve this problem. As a part of this, we’re working with providers including Ingenta and EBSCO. This effort focuses on libraries that don't have link resolvers. Participating libraries that do have link resolvers should see no change.
