Wouldn't it be nice

Dec 17th, 2004 by Karen

Wouldn't it be nice…

If I could go from looking at a table of contents for a journal issue
on a publishers site to seeing if my library had it and if not
Interlibrary Loaning it? Being an avid reader of library journals I
have 8-10 tables of contents FURLed and I am constantly checking to see
if a new issue has come out and if there is anything good that I want
to read. The problem is that I can't easily for from those TOC to
checking to see if I have access to the article and/or interlibrary
loaning the article without retyping all the citation information. It
would be so nice if I could get the citation info submitted to my
OpenURL resolver which would then take me where I needed to go. I guess
we aren't there yet. Another way we can make the experience more seamless for our users.
