Thanks, Jay — I didn’t know that about SFX or its knowledge base. I wonder how often it is implemented. I chatted with OhioLINK’s staff liaison to our user services committee; Zoe reaffirmed that our public services folks definitely want that intermediate screen. Perhaps for the same reasons that EBSCOhost wants that intermediate screen.

If I get any spare time (hah!) I’m going to try constructing some OpenURL against the leading journal publisher/aggregator targets and see if I get back something that resembles full text for the “fulltext” Service Type.

The SFX link resolver is capable of both a & b. It recognizes the service type parameter and is capable of direct linking to to the desired content. The SFX knowledge base is, in effect, a “pathing engine” that constructs target urls by plugging the citation data into a known url structures.

The fact that you have to initiate the search at the PubGet seems like a definite downside. That said, there is still something disruptively appealing about it. Maybe just the more familiar search UI patterns.
