SFX is the original and most widely-used OpenURL link server, providing libraries with a standards-based method for linking diverse electronic resources.
Extensive Customization Options
Allows libraries to provide a solution that best fits local user requirements.
Enables librarians to easily add SFX links, including local targets such as catalogs, databases, library Web pages, and even blogs and tagging services.
Targets added to the SFX database are available for immediate access by users.
A-Z List and Citation Linker can be customized by the library to become an integral part of the library Website or any other place the user may have a need for them.
Automated Administrative Tools
- Automated tools for uploading local resources simplify administrative tasks such as localization of data.
- Plug-in integration with the library catalog optimizes the use of local resources with no need to sync or reload print holdings.
- MARCit! – an optional MARC enhancement service – provides libraries with complete MARC records for their e-journal collection and reduces librarian workload.
Consortium Support
- Built-in consortium support enables libraries to leverage consortial resources and shared data without duplicating management effort.
Real-Time Reporting
- An extensive reporting package provides real-time visibility into usage patterns and trends--usage of data per source, journals requested for which no local full-text exists, journals owned but unused by library patrons, and more.
- Reports can be scheduled for automated e-mail delivery to reduce administrative time and effort.
