Subject: Project MUSE Expands OpenURL Linking
Project MUSE now supports OpenURL 1.0 which provides linking for
search results to journals for which no subscription exists. The
expanded implementation of OpenURL is part of an ongoing effort
by MUSE to provide more options for subscribers and their users.
Now, when a user tries to retrieve a MUSE journal not subscribed
to by their institution, the institution-supplied link on the
turnaway page will point the user to alternative resources for
the articles.
An institution must register with MUSE to enable the linking to
their OpenURL-compliant linking servers. All institutions are
encouraged to provide MUSE with a customized icon and message to
display for the link to the institution*** ¬* *s linking server.
NOTE: Institutions that had previously registered with MUSE for
OpenURL do not need to register again.
To register and enable links to your OpenURL-compliant linking
server for citations retrieved in Project MUSE searches go to the
online form Enable OpenURL Links that is found on the For
Librarians page, http://muse.jhu.edu/about/librarians.
