WorldCat Link Manager

WorldCat Link Manager is open, interoperable link-server software that OCLC provides as a fully supported, hosted service. When your library users click a journal citation in your catalog or in your electronic databases, they are taken directly to the full content of the article in your collection.

WorldCat Link Manager is an OpenURL linking and listing service that allows users to link from an article citation in WorldCat to the full-text version of the article. WorldCat Link Manager "puts it all together" for libraries that don’t need the hassles of running their own link-server operation.

WorldCat Link Manager introduces consistent and comprehensive linking throughout the library.

After a rigorous evaluation process we chose WorldCat Link Manager. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the customizable knowledgebase which provides links to over 90,000 journals and 2.5 million records of aggregator/provider data. ”
