National OpenURL service

Lorcan

A national OpenURL service has just been announced in the UK.

The OpenURL Router works by offering a central registry of institutions’ OpenURL resolvers. An institution registers details of its resolver just once, at openurl.ac.uk. When the resolver has been registered at openurl.ac.uk, any service provider can provide users from that institution with OpenURL links to their resolver. [The OpenURL Router]

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
