Subject: Announcement: The URL Clearinghouse
I'm pleased to announce the launch of The URL Clearinghouse. The
Clearinghouse
is a freely-available set of instructions for creating URLs to
vendor-mediated
databases and e-journals licensed by libraries and other information
providers.
These are the URLs that librarians maintain in OPACs, Web sites, databases,
course pages, guides, etc. The Clearinghouse is organized by vendor, and
focuses on URLs that point to databases and e-journals at the title level.
The URL Clearinghouse is located at:
http://library.albany.edu/clearinghouse/
I created The URL Clearinghouse out of an interest in, and concern
about, the
challenges of creating URLs to licensed electronic resources. I'm
pleased to
share the Clearinghouse with my colleagues and hope it will prove to be
useful.
Comments and submissions of additional vendors are very welcome.
