OpenURL

Post by Gerben »

I am trying to use OpenURL. My institution does not provide it so I would like to search via the standard 1cate server which is filled in in the prefs. However, the OpenURL Search command from the refs menu does not work and i cannot find a solution in the manual. I suppose i am overlooking something simple, any suggestions?

Best,

What do you mean "doesn't work"? What happens when you try it?

Hmm, i plead guilty to ignorance :oops:

I was reading the Project MUSE faq and thought that OpenURL can be used to retrieve citations. Instead it is used to direct a user to access options for the article (just read the info on the ExLibris group site)... Sorry.

The original problem was actually getting Project MUSE citations into BE but i see it can be done via z39.50 so setting that up now.

Best,
Gerben
