Report from Open URL Survey
The information contained in this document is the best
available to our knowledge at the time. Please contact the
CAUL office diane.costello@caul.edu.au if any changes are
required.
At the 2005 Dataset Coordinators Meeting it was suggested CEIRC conduct a survey of dataset
coordinators to identify database publishers (and in particular Australian publishers) with
database services that either do not comply or only partially comply with Open URL Standard.
With over 50% of member institutions now engaged in providing Open URL Services, this is an
important issue for members. CEIRC agreed to the proposal and the report follows.
It was agreed CEIRC would consider the survey results to form a basis for future
correspondence to publishers. A draft letter template for such correspondence is presented as
Appendix 1 – Draft letter template. CEIRC agreed this letter would be sent firstly to relevant
Australian publishers, and then to international publishers with which CAUL has an agreement.
A survey instrument (Appendix 2) was distributed to Dataset Coordinators via email on 29
March 2005.
Responses are presented below as Appendix 3 – Survey Responses. This document also lists
publisher contact details. The information available on this document was accurate at the time
of the survey. Publishers’ improvements to systems since the survey may not be presented in
the document.
Regards,
Martin

Appendix 1 – Draft letter v.3
Dear
I am writing to you on behalf of the CAUL Electronic Information Resources Committee (CEIRC), a
committee of the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) about an important issue affecting
Australian publishers of electronic journals, databases and other electronic resources.
University libraries have been investing heavily in electronic resources for more than a decade. With our
electronic collections becoming large and complex we are implementing new technologies to enhance and
simplify client access to these resources. Two technologies currently being implemented by more than
50% of university libraries in Australia are federated searching and open URL resolvers.
Federated searching technologies allows library users to simultaneously search numerous resources
across various interface platforms and retrieve a search result set in a common interface, thus providing
faster and easier searching. Open URL resolvers allow library users to seamlessly link from an abstract in
one resource to the full-text in another resource, regardless of the interface platform on which these
resources may reside.
Most international publishers already have their e-journal, database and Web portal products support
federated search and open URL resolver services. However, our research indicates that this is not the
case for the majority of Australian publishers, including your company. I am bringing this important issue to
your attention because the compliance to relevant technical standards is an increasingly important factor
that libraries consider when selecting and renewing electronic resources. Resources, which are not open
URL compliant, may be used less by our clients and are perceived to be of less value for money than
those which are compliant.
A significant body of information about federated searching and open URL resolver technologies is
available on the Web. For your information, I have provided some links below to the standard for Open
URL and to library management system vendors so that you can see their developments for linking
services. You may also have some technical expertise within your own organisation. Unfortunately, the
CAUL Office is not able to provide any more information about these technical specifications. We suggest
you try:

http://www.niso.org/standards/index.html
http://www.endinfosys.com/software/finder.html
http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/sfx.htm
http://www.iii.com/mill/digital.shtml
I hope that you find this information useful. I would appreciate receiving a response regarding your
company’s progress and timeframes for offering federated searching and open URL resolver technologies.
Any information can be emailed to me care of caul@caul.edu.au
Sincerely,
Heather Gordon
Chair, CEIRC Committee

Dear Dataset Coordinators,
Please send your response using the attachment below to m.borchert@griffith.edu.au by Wed 13 April 2005.
At the last Dataset Coordinators meeting it was suggested to survey database publishers' compliance to Open URL Standard, and thus the suitability of their
database products for configuration into our Open URL Resolver services.
Section 3.b) DSC Meeting Notes:
Open URL Standard compliance
Martin Borchert (Griffith) suggested a survey of database publishers be conducted to determine the degree to which publishers have implemented OpenURL
Standard. A show of hands indicated that over half of member institutions were/have implemented an OpenURL Resolver service, and that this would be of
interest to members. CEIRC could write a letter to problem publishers.
At the following CEIRC meeting the following actions were suggested:
1. Determine whether NISO has already done such a survey
No, I could not finid one. The standard is also listed as 'In Development' on the NISO website. http://www.niso.org/committees/committee_ax.html
2. Consult support web sites of Open URL Services
NISO worked with ExLibris on this; http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/sfx_openurl.htm [See list of sources and targets]
3. Concentrate on Australian publishers [to compliment other efforts abroad]
4. Survey non, and partial compliance to Open URL Standard [that is, depth of linking]
5. CEIRC to consider contacting problem Australian publishers in particular
I will then collate responses and report to the next CEIRC meeting on 20 April.

CAUL CEIRC survey of database publisher compliance to Open URL Standard
Version 1 29 March 2005
CAUL CEIRC survey – Database publisher Open URL Compliance
Page 3
The purpose of this survey is to determine the degree of compliance of database publishers to the developing NISO standard ‘The OpenURL Framework for
Context-Sensitive Services’ See URL: http://www.niso.org/committees/committee_ax.html The survey concentrates on Australian publishers and databases,
but international publishers of particular concern may be included in the survey. CEIRC will use this information to form a list of publishers CEIRC could write
to. Please provide details for problem publishers/databases you wish CEIRC to write to.
Instructions:
1. Please provide contact and address details for additional Australian, or international databases/publishers. Please copy the template below

Archival law resource.
Despite repeated requests by
Deakin, publisher still offers
no suitable downloadable
coverage spreadsheet, so
retrieving a list of holdings is
cumbersome and timeconsuming. May not be
suitable as an OpenURL
source, but certainly desirable
as a target.
