Endeavor to Replace LinkFinderPlus

Endeavor announced they will be expanding their partnership with TDNet to offer an OpenURL and non-OpenURL resolver called Discovery Resolver.

Discovery Resolver is a replacement for Endeavor's current LinkFinderPlus product, current users of LinkFinderPlus will be migrated to Discovery Resolver.

Utilizing technology developed by TDNet, Discovery Resolver will provide context-sensitive linking from OpenURL enabled sources to full text sources. In addition, Endeavor customers will will be able to access the company's multi-disciplinary Knowledge Base, which currently consists of more than 100,000 weekly updated unique titles - including eBooks. Additional functionality includes the ability to repair partial citations and the creation of links to resources that are non-OpenURL compliant.

According to Endeavor and TDNet, Discovery Resolver offers a number of new features that have been requested by Endeavor customers.

Improvements include:
  • Ability to handle moving walls and embargos, as well as more complex holdings
  • Support for exposing holdings and link resolving in Google Scholar
  • Synamic A-Z listing of resources accessible through Resolver
  • Ability to export OpenURL citation- to-citation manager packages such as EndNote
  • Enhanced statistics, including Counter-compliant reports
  • Ability to perform basic customizations via a Web interface, such as editing text on a linking screen and adding a local logo.
