Most current OpenURL-implementing services automatically bind these two parts together based on users' incoming network addresses.” “Note that the first component (the resolver address) is institution-dependent , and the second component (metadata) is institution-independent.

    23. OpenURL & COinS SRU Workshop March 2006 23 Stakeholder #1 - Readers “Give it me now” Expectation of direct connection Simple & consistent interface Usability & utility Eason: ‘Ready-to-hand’ (Heidegger) Mooer: ‘More painful to not have than to get’ Zipf: ‘Least effort’ Want and expect to obtain material and with minimal effort. Simple interface - don’t try and explain ‘context sensitive linking’ – Offside rule. RTH = Users will only try new services as minor variations on normal practice that are easy to explore. They will then make a comparative evaluation against normal practice in a particular instance and, if this is successful, will add this increment to their practice. This is a concept from the philosopher Heidegger (1977) that emphasises the way in which people undertake their everyday tasks by using tools and techniques that are so familiar to them that they do not have to think about them. Mooer's Law: "An information retrieval system will tend not to be used whenever it is more painful and troublesome for a customer to have information than for him to not have it" Zipf: “Each individual will adopt a course of action that will involve the expenditure of (probably) the least effort” Want and expect to obtain material and with minimal effort.

ROI (Discuss) Library branding ‘Backroom’ benefits Meeting user expectations Extension of library itself Oct - Computers in Libraries – NorthWestern University ”OpenURL and federated searching are important new services in our field. It is critical for us to make sure that these services work – from the patrons’ perspective. They represent extensions of the library that further enable people to find their own information, which will be critical to the library of the future.” (This research was presented at the 2005 Annual SFX/MetaLib User's Group Meeting ) Oct - Computers in Libraries – NorthWestern University ”OpenURL and federated searching are important new services in our field.
