OpenURL Resolvers for German Libraries

hussong · April 10, 2008

Please note that I've only tried the Berlin libraries, so use at your own risk. Some of the resolvers require authentication.

See http://www.geodok.uni-erlangen.de/geodok/konfiguration.htm for more. Please note that the links there have been modified for a specific application. Clicking them or copying the link address is useless, you have to copy the text and paste it into the field "Resolver" in the Zotero preferences.

See http://www.gbv.de/wikis/cls/SFX for all resolvers from libraries of "Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund (GBV)".

When connected to your campus network, you can also try http://www.openurl.de/ to find an OpenURL resolver for your university (based on your IP address).

I think the OpenUrl Resolver for the University of Lüneburg is:

http://linksolver.ovid.com/OpenUrl/LinkSolver

maybe it would be good to add all these URLs to:

http://www.zotero.org/documentation/openurl_resolvers

and to make future releases of zotero find them automatically..

and maybe a link to this list from the quickstart-pages would help
to find them.

:-))))

Danke, die Informationen habe ich gebraucht.

Exilregierung · November 16, 2011

any idea on a resolver for the common search within Berlin and Brandenburg?
kobv.de

adamsmith · November 16, 2011

you can try
http://sfx.kobv.de/sfx_local
but as I said in the other thread - just ask them if that doesn't work.

adamsc · May 23, 2013

Does anyone know where I can find other link resolvers of German libraries?

adamsc · May 28, 2013

How did you find this links?

Universitätsbibliothek Münster -- http://sfx.hbz-nrw.de/sfx_ulbms

See for more information:
http://www.ulb.uni-muenster.de/recherche/sfx.html

You can try to find the SFX for your university by searching for "OpenURL", "SFX" and the name of the city, university or library you're looking for.
