Do More, Spend Less with Bowker’s New Link Resolver

Bowker is proud to introduce a brand new product to the serials suite of products -- Ulrich’s Resource Linker™ -- which brings affordable full-text search and linking capabilities to you and your patrons. Bowker’s new OpenURL link resolver currently tracks approximately 70,000 electronic periodicals from more than 1,100 publishers. The Ulrich's Resource Linker knowledgebase includes metadata and links for more than 580 databases and aggregator packages, and tracks more than 800,000 individual holdings from providers of all types. Those holdings include cover-to-cover full-text, as well as selected-coverage full-text, citation databases, and non-subscription access resources such as the Directory of Open Access Journals.

Remotely hosted by Bowker so that your library staff is not burdened by the set-up, maintenance, and updating of a link server, Ulrich’s Resource Linker can be configured to include your print, microform, and customized holdings, and extended services -- giving librarians the power to choose the degree to which coverage dates, notes, preferred providers, and other elements of holdings are displayed to end-users. Plus, Ulrich’s Resource Linker can be branded with your library’s logo -- giving your patrons a search and linking tool with a familiar look and feel.

Bowker’s unbiased and objective stance brings a trusted, authoritative source of periodicals information and access to libraries of all sizes by providing collection-specific A-to-Z lists of electronic and print titles, user-friendly subject browsing, and reliable content updating. You do not have to purchase any other Bowker product to subscribe to Ulrich’s Resource Linker, but will find that it integrates well with both ulrichsweb.com and Ulrich’s Serials Analysis System.

Affordable pricing options are available through a flexible annual subscription model, discounts for consortia, and discounts for current Ulrich’s customers. Please let us know if you are interested in learning more by contacting us at Marketing@Bowker.com, and we will send some information out to you right away.
