[Eril-l] [EXT] OCLC Link Resolver

[Rodgers, Denyse]

Baylor University is also a big fan of LibKey and Third Iron.   I wish all vendors were as responsive and willing to help.   Highly recommend!

We use LibKey as well and like it a lot. For more specifics, I’d refer you to my local colleague who set it all up (contact me off list). A note of caution though, and I’m not sure about this so hopefully someone who is better informed can correct me or affirm. I think it requires or expects a certain level of linking connectivity such as a DOI. That tends to favor links for STEM content that use DOIs more frequently than say, in the humanities and some of the social sciences. Also, at least in our setup, there is a way to get users to navigate to local services (we use Alma/Primo VE as well) which includes requesting through ILLiad.
