I just tried a few searches and I can confirm this. We’re using Serial Solutions 360Link. Thanks for the alert.

 

Seems like a lot of older Cambridge journal content is on JSTOR. It’d be nice if Cambridge could synch up with our link resolvers so that our patrons could more easily get to that content. Most of our journal platforms have this option. I’ll shoot them an email about this.

Hello,

Please excuse my cross-posting. Is anyone else having issues with OpenURL link resolver links not showing up within Cambridge Core? For the sake of an example, I’m using SFX, which is our OpenURL link resolver.

 

Suppose I do a search for a topic in Cambridge Core. If I find an article I like and click on it, I’ll either be taken to a page with the full text (meaning I have access to the content) or I’ll see a page with the article’s abstract only (meaning I don’t have access to the content). On articles I don’t have access to, I should be able to have an SFX link appear so I can check to see if I have access to the article elsewhere. However, I can’t get the SFX link to appear even though I’ve configured it in the admin module. There is a “Get access” link, but that just recommends a subscription to the librarian.

 

I have submitted this to Cambridge tech support and they said what I’m asking for isn’t possible. Is anyone else dealing with this?

 

Thanks,
