Memorandum To CAUL Dataset Coordinators cc
From CAUL CEIRC
Date 30 October 2006
File Reference: Subject Report from Open URL Survey
The information contained in this document is the best available to our knowledge at the time. Please contact the CAUL office [email protected] if any changes are required.
At the 2005 Dataset Coordinators Meeting it was suggested CEIRC conduct a survey of dataset coordinators to identify database publishers (and in particular Australian publishers) with database services that either do not comply or only partially comply with Open URL Standard. With over 50% of member institutions now engaged in providing Open URL Services, this is an important issue for members. CEIRC agreed to the proposal and the report follows.
It was agreed CEIRC would consider the survey results to form a basis for future correspondence to publishers. A draft letter template for such correspondence is presented as Appendix 1 – Draft letter template. CEIRC agreed this letter would be sent firstly to relevant Australian publishers, and then to international publishers with which CAUL has an agreement.
A survey instrument (Appendix 2) was distributed to Dataset Coordinators via email on 29 March 2005.
Responses are presented below as Appendix 3 – Survey Responses. This document also lists publisher contact details. The information available on this document was accurate at the time of the survey. Publishers’ improvements to systems since the survey may not be presented in the document.
Regards,
Martin

Dear
I am writing to you on behalf of the CAUL Electronic Information Resources Committee (CEIRC), a committee of the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) about an important issue affecting Australian publishers of electronic journals, databases and other electronic resources.
University libraries have been investing heavily in electronic resources for more than a decade. With our electronic collections becoming large and complex we are implementing new technologies to enhance and simplify client access to these resources. Two technologies currently being implemented by more than 50% of university libraries in Australia are federated searching and open URL resolvers.
Federated searching technologies allows library users to simultaneously search numerous resources across various interface platforms and retrieve a search result set in a common interface, thus providing faster and easier searching. Open URL resolvers allow library users to seamlessly link from an abstract in one resource to the full-text in another resource, regardless of the interface platform on which these resources may reside.
Most international publishers already have their e-journal, database and Web portal products support federated search and open URL resolver services. However, our research indicates that this is not the case for the majority of Australian publishers, including your company. I am bringing this important issue to your attention because the compliance to relevant technical standards is an increasingly important factor that libraries consider when selecting and renewing electronic resources. Resources, which are not open URL compliant, may be used less by our clients and are perceived to be of less value for money than those which are compliant.
A significant body of information about federated searching and open URL resolver technologies is available on the Web. For your information, I have provided some links below to the standard for Open URL and to library management system vendors so that you can see their developments for linking services. You may also have some technical expertise within your own organisation. Unfortunately, the CAUL Office is not able to provide any more information about these technical specifications. We suggest you try:
NISO Standard Z39.88 2004 http://www.niso.org/standards/index.html Endeavor Discovery: Finder http://www.endinfosys.com/software/finder.html ExLibris http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/sfx.htm Innovative Interfaces Inc. http://www.iii.com/mill/digital.shtml
I hope that you find this information useful. I would appreciate receiving a response regarding your company’s progress and timeframes for offering federated searching and open URL resolver technologies. Any information can be emailed to me care of [email protected]
Sincerely,
Heather Gordon Chair, CEIRC Committee

Dear Dataset Coordinators,
Please send your response using the attachment below to [email protected] by Wed 13 April 2005.
At the last Dataset Coordinators meeting it was suggested to survey database publishers' compliance to Open URL Standard, and thus the suitability of their database products for configuration into our Open URL Resolver services.
Section 3.b) DSC Meeting Notes: Open URL Standard compliance Martin Borchert (Griffith) suggested a survey of database publishers be conducted to determine the degree to which publishers have implemented OpenURL Standard. A show of hands indicated that over half of member institutions were/have implemented an OpenURL Resolver service, and that this would be of interest to members. CEIRC could write a letter to problem publishers.
At the following CEIRC meeting the following actions were suggested:
1. Determine whether NISO has already done such a survey No, I could not finid one. The standard is also listed as 'In Development' on the NISO website. http://www.niso.org/committees/committee_ax.html 2. Consult support web sites of Open URL Services NISO worked with ExLibris on this; http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/sfx_openurl.htm [See list of sources and targets] 3. Concentrate on Australian publishers [to compliment other efforts abroad] 4. Survey non, and partial compliance to Open URL Standard [that is, depth of linking] 5. CEIRC to consider contacting problem Australian publishers in particular
I will then collate responses and report to the next CEIRC meeting on 20 April.
