Ex Libris – SFX – ScholarSFX™

Google™ Scholar and SFX®: New Opportunities for Libraries and Researchers

Ex Libris has worked with Google and a number of SFX customers to ensure that Google Scholar search results display OpenURL links to SFX; and thereby to the scholarly peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints and technical reports from your library collection.
…
If you are not yet an SFX customer, Ex Libris is pleased to offer a free service, ScholarSFX. This groundbreaking service enables libraries to create customized links based on your institution’s electronic journal holdings and display these links in Google Scholar search results. Your users will then be able to link from the Google Scholar results to articles that are available through local institutional subscriptions or for free on the Web. ScholarSFX includes links to thousands of such free journals.

ScholarSFX offers a simple web-based Wizard to guide you through the setup procedure whereby you configure ScholarSFX to represent your institution’s holdings.
