Serials Linking Task Force

(Task Force Documents)

This Task Force was created in December 2001 and reports to COLD through the PHAROS Management Team and has been given the following charge:

Charge:
The Serials Linking Task Force will focus on exploring the adoption and implementation of emerging linking standards and technology to provide CSU library users with enhanced access services, primarily to licensed electronic resources. Members of the Task Force will review currently available software and specify the elements of a database that will allow direct linking between serial citations in major online citation databases and available online and locally held print resources. The Task Force will also consider extended service linking to available ILL or document delivery services and online reference resources. The goal will be to integrate this linking technology platform between:

  • The Electronic Core Collection [ECC],
  • Other databases offered to CSU libraries by SEIR
  • Pharos resources and
  • Local resources at the user's home campus.
    • Detailed investigation into the functionality of the link resolution technology with relevant citation and full text databases, as well as local ILS and Pharos systems will be a critical part of the work. Equally important will be determining the best way to develop and maintain databases that this system will work against. Ideally the set of meta-data databases will be able to support each library throughout the CSU system and provide maximized benefit to all CSU library users, regardless of their local affiliation.
