Abstract: During 2002, the Colorado State University Libraries were involved in the implementation of the Ex Libris software SFX. Through SFX users can easily identify library resources in aggregated databases and e-journals in a seamless and user friendly environment. This article describes the process of implementing SFX, the technical and public service considerations, and the benefits derived from SFX. Through its implementation of the OpenURL standard, which allows for context-sensitive reference linking from a citation to a resource, SFX helps the users to easily locate information within an array of online electronic resources.

Title: Blurring services and resources: Boston College's implementation of MetaLib and SFX
Author(s): Bob Gerrity; Theresa Lyman; Ed Tallent
Journal: Reference Services Review
Year: 2002 Volume: 30 Number: 3 Page: 229-241
DOI: 10.1108/00907320210435491
Publisher: Emerald
Abstract: Over the past year, the Boston College libraries have been engaged in making available to our users two new resources, MetaLib and SFX. MetaLib is portal/gateway software that allows for simultaneous searching of several databases, as well as some options to customize the interface. SFX technology provides context-sensitive reference linking from citations to extended services. In this article we review the pedagogical, technical, and service reasons for making these resources available. We discuss how we believe these technologies respond to current student use of the library, and how we approached the installation process. We also review the challenges of the installation (both technical and service) and future possibilities.
