English abstract

The OpenURL framework, a term that is becoming widely used in the information world, will be explained with some theoretical concepts but mostly by presenting a concrete description of its set up and its capacities. Following a brief introduction on the linking services found in information resources these days, the author will offer a short overview of the birth of OpenURL and then demonstrate its inner workings. For patrons, the OpenURL technology is without a doubt a powerful tool that provides, when possible, direct and seamless access to electronic resources while offering other pertinent options depending on the institution’s collection. Still in its infancy, this new standard offers undeniable advantages for the research library environment.

French abstract

Cet article a pour but de démystifier la notion de OpenURL, un terme de plus en plus présent dans le domaine de l'information, à l'aide de concepts théoriques mais surtout grâce à une description pratique de sa mise en place et de sa capacité d'action. Après une courte introduction sur le concept d'arrimage dans les ressources documentaires, l'auteure présentera un bref survol de la naissance du concept OpenURL suivi d'une démonstration concrète de son fonctionnement. Pour les usagers, la force de cette technologie réside dans le fait qu'elle permet, lorsque possible, un accès direct et transparent aux ressources électroniques tout en offrant des options pertinentes selon la collection d'une institution. On constatera que cette toute nouvelle norme, qui n'en est qu'à ses débuts, offre des avantages certains dans le milieu des bibliothèques de recherche.
