This is a nice enhancement – "Ingenta library customers can now upgrade their new
issue and search alerts to include OpenURL links back to their own
holdings, enabling users to link directly from an alert to the
"appropriate copy" of the article’s full text wherever it may reside."
Too few databases allow for some way for distance students to get back to the content either as a result of a TOC alert, or even just a citation received via email. Not a week goes by that I don’t explain to a user why they’re being prompted for some login they don’t have when they click on a link in an email one of our databases sent to them. I’ve asked Ingenta how we go about "registering" for this service, and will report back when I hear what’s involved.
