We are having a problem with DOIs resolving correctly as well, though we use Serials Solutions 360 Link.  Rebuilding the edition has not solved the problem.

Three different responses are generated when clicking on DOIs associated with different issues of the journal Few-Body Systems in the EBSCOhost aggregation Academic Search Premier.  Clicking on doi:10.1007/s00601-009-0051-6 (the DOI of an article in a current issue-an article not available in the aggregation) resolves to the article page on the Springer Web site).  Clicking on doi:10.1007/s00601-008-0243-5 (the DOI of an article in an issue from last year-also an article not available in the aggregation) resolves to an EBSCOhost OpenURL Connection "No results were found page" (however, clicking on the 360 Link icon rather than the DOI takes you to the corresponding article page on the Springer Web site).  Finally, clicking on doi:10.1007/s00601-007-0193-3 (the DOI of an article in an issue from two years ago that IS now available in the aggregation) resolves to an EBSCO Publishing "Unknown Error Condition" page.

The DOIs are all valid and in each case the DOI on the originating Academic Search Premier article page is identical with the DOI on the target Springer article page.  So we have three distinct results when clicking on DOIs from different years of the same journal in the same aggregation.

I've also alerted Serials Solutions to the problem, since it may involve their OpenURL resolver rather than LibX.

Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Just a note: LibX is only building the URL. You can right-click on the
auto-linked item and choose "Copy Link Location" to identify what LibX
constructs. That is the string you need to send to your
vendor/administrator - you don't have to tell them about LibX, simply
ask them why this string doesn't work.

Subject: [LibX] Cues and Wikipedia books
Message-ID: <WC20090921193908.4116BF@will.state.wy.us>

I just noticed today that we have a cue appear for books in Wikipedia
entries, but instead of sending an xISBN search to our catalog, as I would
expect, clicking on the cue takes you to our openURL resolver.  Is this a
known issue, or do I need to tweak my edition?  

The ISBN that appears in Wikipedia is lined to an internal (WP) search
page with information on searching book sources.  

Thanks for any suggestions.

Wikipedia citations use COinS (http://ocoins.info/) so LibX would just
be acting on that and going to your link resolver.

Can it not handle books?

Hello,

I am trying to create a bookmarklet for our infotrac databases.  Can someone show me how to compose it?   There's one in the system, but it doesn't apply to our case.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Subject: [LibX]  How far is it possible to customize LibX for IE?
Message-ID: <25683802.post@talk.nabble.com>


I've been working on customizing the Firefox LibX toolbar for our library and
have gotten pretty far with it.
Here is a screenshot of how the FF version looks -
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7352/fflibx.png

I've added a second menu of links and also a new button that goes directly
to our Ask a Librarian info page.

Is there any way to add these items to the IE toolbar?  I really can't
figure it out, and from the searching I've done, I'm not sure it's possible
to tinker with an exe once it's compiled.  If not, would it be possible to
add a separator line in the IE main list of links?  Currently, we have one
long list of links, and it'd be great if we could visually split it up into
groups with a separator.

Thanks so much.  I love this toolbar and appreciate all the hard work
everyone has put into it to make it easy to use.

For IE, you need to recompile LibX IE. The UI is implemented in .Net/C#.

This is resurrecting an old discussion. LibX will require structural changes
to allow customizable toolbars. Since there are customizable toolbars out
there, this is not something the LibX team has focused on. That is not to
say we oppose it, just don't have the resources to do at the moment. Our
focus is on the LibX 2.0 platform and the functionality it enables (see
developers.libx.org)

Making the toolbar configurable will require development effort; we're happy
to work with anybody wanting to give it a try. This is something that
requires developer-level skills, not something that can be done at the
adapter-level.  I'm not sure how you prototyped the customized toolbar, but
it will be difficult to maintain for you unless you duplicate the hosting
environment we have on libx (which, of course, nothing is preventing you
from doing - LibX is 100% open source) - but it's not an approach that will
scale to all libraries who can't do that for resource reasons.
