We try to add URLs to Pharm-line records (www.pharm-line.nhs.uk) notwithstanding the very real problems mentioned.  If we have to use an abstract from, for example, Ingenta this is identified as "Abstract link (IngentaConnect)".
 
Feedback from users indicates that they find this a useful facility, though we have had  complaints that we don't provide free access links to full-text of subscription-only journals (!)

Subject: URLs

Dear Colleagues,

We add articles to our Library catalogue, with title, abstract etc information. We have not made it a habit to add URLs for these articles to our catalogue records, mainly due to concerns about the instability of these URLs, with many becoming ‘dead’ or changing frequently. I wonder if any one else does add URLs to articles when making records?, or chooses to omit them?

Many thanks,

Daniel Beck
