Abstract

   Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to examine the benefits of OpenURL in a library  
   setting. Design/methodology/approach–A discussion of how OpenURL was implemented at  
   Dowling College through the creation of a home-grown resolver. The benefits and potential  
   problems of such a solution are also covered. Findings–OpenURL has made locating the  
   appropriate copy simpler for students and faculty and improved library services, such as  
   reference and interlibrary loan. Originality/value–The paper provides encouragement and  
   ideas for smaller libraries who wish to implement OpenURL but do not have the funds or  
   desire to pursue commercial solutions. It also provides ideas on different services that can  
   be implemented with OpenURL in all libraries.
