[Eril-l] Alma link resolver?

[Platkowski, Melissa]

We have Alma with its integrated resolver, which we connect to with Primo.  The resolver is very similar to SFX in structure, look, and feel.  The only major difference is the lack of a service level for abstracts, dissertations, ect.  It really just has a full text service level.  For us, we don't really mind because we never used the other service levels anyway.

We are a consortial installation, so we do have some unusual configurations - like our display logic.  That's VERY complicated, but it's because WE are complicated, not because the tool is.  :)

We haven't had many problems with it, really.  Nothing beyond what we had with SFX or what you'd probably see with any link resolver.  It's working well and I have no complaints.

Subject: [Eril-l] Alma link resolver?

Hi,

We are still on Millennium and starting to shop around for a new ILS. Ex Libris reps visited us last week and showed us parts of Alma. It appears that there is a built-in link resolver completely separate from 360Link or SFX, and it doesn't cost extra. Is anyone out there using the built-in Alma link resolver? I would love to hear off-list about it.

We're currently using 360Link; in the past we've used SFX and Gold Rush. I'm curious to know more about this built-in link resolver and how it compares with other products.

Thanks,
