As you may have heard, Bowker recently debuted an OpenURL-compliant link resolver called Ulrich’s Resource Linker. Ulrich’s Resource Linker frees your library from manual maintenance and constant updating -- a common grievance with most link resolvers on the market. Fully hosted by Bowker and completely customizable, Ulrich’s Resource Linker is affordable for any library, no matter the size. Additionally, Ulrich’s Resource Linker includes an A-Z list which can be branded specifically for your library.
