“…Gul et al pointed out that the main causes of URL decay are the frequent substitutions of URLs and site death. Although some software tools have been used for identifying broken links since the turn of the century (Beam & Copeland, 2001), stakeholders including subscribing agencies and users would still spend hours co-troubleshooting, investigating, and/or updating broken linkage from different sites. In order to improve the URL stability and to reduce manpower maintaining URLs, new powerful technologies such as persistent URL and OpenURL were invented.…”

Abstract:To tackle issues related to metadata and improve discovery of and access to digital resources, National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has developed a series of standards and recommended best practices. The impact of these standards has been discussed in depth. However, no research has been done in the areas of how those standards and best practices can be used for digital resources in Chinese, and strategies for implementing those standards. This paper aims to identify common issues in discovery of and access to Chinese digital resources; suggest feasible solutions; discuss how to leverage NISO standards and recommended practices; and recommend ways to promote the standards and best practices to stakeholders.

“…At most libraries, acquisition librarians and catalogers are continuing to purchase print materials, and evaluating electronic resources adds to the workload (Baruth, 2000). There is often not enough cataloging staff to keep up with the proliferation of remotely-accessible electronic resources (Beam and Copeland, 2001). Some libraries choose instead to offer a list of web sites mounted from its home page.…”

The electronic library: responses from the State University of New York (SUNY)

Illustrates the methods of pointing to remotely‐accessible electronic resources in libraries in a university system ranging from research centers to community colleges. The online catalogs of libraries in the State University of New York (SUNY) system were tested for remotely‐accessible electronic resources. Each library's internet home page was also searched for means of linking to journal titles. The libraries at SUNY campuses have shown different responses to the issues of making available aggregator databases, web sites, and e‐books. A marked decrease in the use of the online catalog to make available remotely‐accessible electronic resources at academic libraries other than those at the research level was noted. The findings are limited insofar that no effort was made to determine the reasons why each library did or not include records for remotely‐accessible electronic resources in their online catalogs. Academic libraries find desirable a single search interface for remotely‐accessible electronic resources, and this may include the library's online catalog. This study will be of value to those who are concerned with the ways in which remotely‐accessible electronic resources are made available in various sizes of academic libraries, particularly those engaged in decision making about online resources.
