SFX launched in Beta test mode

SFX, the link resolver component of ViTaL has been launched for testing at the Natural History Museum, London. The latest version of the software is running in Consortium mode in preparation for other EDIT institutions to be added.

At present, only NHM subscription holdings (as well as free ones of course) are available and over the next few weeks, we will be ensuring that the Knowledge Base (which describes our subscribed to titles with date ranges) is fully up to date. We will then be in a position to start adding the next sites.

The base URL of the link resolver is http://ourl.vital.nhm.ac.uk/vital-nhmlondon and this should be used in any openurl source compliant database which wishes to link using the service.

Watch out for further announcements shortly.

Scratchpads developed and conceived by: Vince Smith, Simon Rycroft, Dave Roberts, Ben Scott...
