Subject: Project MUSE Expands OpenURL Linking

Project MUSE now supports OpenURL 1.0 which provides linking for 
search results to journals for which no subscription exists. The 
expanded implementation of OpenURL is part of an ongoing effort 
by MUSE to provide more options for subscribers and their users. 
Now, when a user tries to retrieve a MUSE journal not subscribed 
to by their institution, the institution-supplied link on the 
turnaway page will point the user to alternative resources for 
the articles.

An institution must register with MUSE to enable the linking to 
their OpenURL-compliant linking servers.  All institutions are 
encouraged to provide MUSE with a customized icon and message to 
display for the link to the institution’s linking server.

NOTE: Institutions that had previously registered with MUSE for 
OpenURL do not need to register again.

To register and enable links to your OpenURL-compliant linking 
server for citations retrieved in Project MUSE searches go to the 
online form Enable OpenURL Links that is found on the For 
Librarians page, http://muse.jhu.edu/about/librarians.

Please direct any questions regarding this announcement to MUSE 
Customer Service at muse@muse.jhu.edu.
