OpenURL Implementation: Link Resolution That Users Will Love

OpenURL link resolving addresses a core issue: how we can help our users find and get the content that they want and have access to. But without successfully implementing OpenURLs, we are at risk of having content that can't be found our used, and patrons who do not know about the information they have access to. In this webinar, learn about some of the real ways that you can make certain that your link resolvers work effectively, about the practical steps that you can take to implement OpenURLs, and learn about some of the projects underway focused on improving OpenURLs so that your users can benefit.

Speakers include

Joanna White, Product Manager, WorldCat Registry, OCLC, and member of the OCLC Maintenance Advisory Group for the OpenURL standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.88 - 2004 / http://www.niso.org/standards/z39-88-2004/)
Peter McCracken, co-founder and Director of Research, Serials Solutions, and Co-Chair of the NISO/UKSG KBART Working Group

About ITIG

The Information Technology Interest Group (ITIG) is a special interest group within the Association of College and Research Libraries, New England Chapter (ACRL/NEC).  ITIG was formed to address issues around the implementation, support, training, and use of information technology in libraries.  In November 1998, ITIG was approved by ACRL/NEC and held its first organizational meeting on February 5, 1999. The group offers programs, discussion groups, and information resources such as ITIG-L, our listserv---all of which are designed to help library staff share information about technology challenges and solutions. Possible future program topics may include networking research databases, next generation integrated library systems, and setting up a computer help desk.
