- Description
Most OpenURL link resolvers are maintained by institutions, thus the services offered are selected and optimized to serve a specific target group, e.g. the staff of the Max Planck Society. Nevertheless, external users are sometime directed to the MPG/SFX link resolver because they found a corresponding link on a MPS web site or they searched for literature on the MPG edoc server. Therefore, we setup a link to OCLC's OpenURL Resolver Registry which can be used to redirect the request to a local link resolver. The service is offered only, if the request comes from an IP address which hasn't been recognized as being from MPS.
