openURL search arguments

Post by pacito »

I was wondering what the openURL search arguments are for some libraries - am I mistaken in thinking that they differ from institution to institution? In particular, I was hoping to add the search arguments for the University of Toronto and the Libary of Congress to the Bookends preferences.

http://sfx.scholarsportal.info/toronto
http://openurl.loc.gov:3210/

Those are the server addresses, but I've been unable to determine what text I should put in the search arguments box.

many thanks for any help,
Jon

I don't know what those sources are looking for, but perhaps someone else who reads this will. Have you tried contacting the U of Toronto library and asking?
