Re: CDL: Access to Open Access resources
I have set up a resolver link that states "Search Google for Related Materials"
This appears whenever we have the No Fulltext Found condition.
The script scrapes the title information as a phrase ... results are both
(1) materials behind the firewall (vendor links that cause frustration), and
(2) free "hybrid" versions located within institutional repositories
and on author web sites.
This is not perfect, but it does provide much of the free material if
one is willing to explore. It also brings up other interesting materials from
the web for those
willing to expand their exploration.

RE: Access to Open Access resources
I've used the Lazy Scholar app for Chrome - it seems to work pretty well at
finding articles.

Re: CDL: Access to Open Access resources
It turns out there is an official answer to this question from NISO, so rather
than summarizing I'll just paste this response I got.
Dear Karen,
There is a NISO "Access and License Indicators" working group (of which I'm a
member) looking at this problem, with the intention of standardising metadata
elements to indicate open access (OA) resources. The situation described in
your query is exactly one of the use cases that informed the group's
recommendations. Publishers and others providing OA material, will be expected
to indicate this in the article- or item-level metadata so that resource
discovery systems, content aggregators and others will be able to use the
metadata indicators to identify and index such material.
Following a period of open feedback and comment, the final Recommended Practice
is expected to be published by NISO shortly.
