There is another player in the field, 1Cate from Openly Informatics.
1Cate = One Click Access to Everything

Our college (formerly Westark, now UA Fort Smith) is a beta site for
1Cate.  If you would like to look at our search page, go to:
http://westark.1cate.com/

One of the advantages is the link within each citation or full record
goes directly to the E-Journal Directory to check holdings.  In the
past, we recommended students open another browser window with our old
(locally created) Periodical List
http://www.westark.edu/shell-cgi/periodicals.pl
and check availability as needed for non-full text citations.

At present, the 1Cate link looks different within each database and
goes to a different search level within each database.  There are some
continuous teaching issues there, but we already had that.  After
identifying in what database the full text lives, then you have to
teach how to search for one specific article.  I'm just glad several
companies are working on the same problem and offering a competitive
answer.

We are still working with Openly Informatics to refine how things work.
 Here is the contact info if you are interested in trying another
