You can design either to meet your institution’s branding requirements, prioritize linking options, modify interface elements, integrate other services, and deliver access to other library resources.
Index-Enhanced Direct Linking (IEDL)
IEDL technology uses provider-specific data elements to create links dynamically. IEDL provides nearly 100% linking success for more than 500 million items from nearly 400 providers, representing 4,000+ databases. This technology avoids the linking impediments found in OpenURL technology which can be caused by metadata mismatches between referring source and target platform.
