Google Scholar and Open URL Resolvers
Let's face it, many of our users use Google to do their research. Is it right? Not always. User education can help, but their is no physical way that we can reach all of our users needs 24/7. Linking through Google Scholar has some real potential at reaching those users that we miss, that is why I am always interested when people are talking about using open URL resolvers with Google Scholar.
The Library Web Chic has done some research and has written about some concerns and provided links to a couple of good blogs who have looked into linking in Google.
It is interesting to see what others are doing with various resolver products. This is a new and potentially exciting area. If done well I can see where our users might be more aware of our presence and resources than before.
