[Eril-l] NBER, EconLit and link resolving?

[Mark Hemhauser]

I was at a library that used SFX and EconLit on Ebscohost. Similiar link
failures were caused by a disagreement between the systems as to what type
of material NBER papers was. I don’t remember the details, so this is just
illustrative of the issue, not the correct terminology. EbscoHost treated
them as type = article, and SFX treated them as type = book. Once both
systems were using the same type flag, links worked.

Hi,



My library has a subscription to NBER Working Papers (National Bureau of
Economic Research) as well as EconLit on EBSCOHost. We use Serial Solutions
360Link for our link resolver.



Recently it was brought to my attention that NBER Working Papers are cited
in EconLit, and the link resolver wasn’t finding the papers. A professor
was worried that students wouldn’t take the extra step to go look in NBER.



360Link has a database called NBER Working Papers, so I activated it. A few
days later, all the EconLit citations I’ve tried with the link resolver
isn’t working. I’m wondering where the problem is – EconLit, NBER or
360Link? Anybody else encounter this problem?



Thanks,
