This relates to the management of electronic resources for each CSU IZ using Model 1 (the local acquisition, licensing and e-resource management by the individual libraries.  The openURL, proxy, and Discovery Interface Display Logic are driving forces behind display and access of electronic resources.  It is essential to have recommendations and best practices that allow us to customize and maximize the system for the benefit of staff and library users.

• Alma's UResolver complies with 0.1 and 1.0 OpenURL (Sept 2016).  The goal of the Alma Link Resolver is to provide patrons access to electronic resources that they have identified using OpenURL-compliant discovery tools such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Primo, etc.

• Each CSU is responsible for contacting vendors or updating admin modules with the Alma link resolver and icon prior to going live.  Note:  This Ex Libris document explains the process of running a report in SFX to create a vendor list to send the new services page URL when moving from SFX to Alma.

• The CO will put in place temporary redirects from SFX to the Alma link resolver as campuses go live, so if you don't update all of your vendors by go-live, your users won't get stuck.
  
• The link resolver icon is the equivalent of the SFX openURL icon.  Note: Here is the URL for the link resolver icon.
• The Link Resolver Base URL consists of the following parameters:  http://<primo_fe_server_url:port>/openurl/<primo_institution_code>/<primo_services_page_view_code.  Note:  We do not use a "port" in our URL syntax. To get your base URL,  go to the Primo Back Office and navigate to Primo Home>Ongoing Configuration Wizards>Institution Wizard.  Copy and paste the Services Page URL.   This same URL is also available in Alma by navigating to General Config menu > General Config > Other settings > Primo service page url
  
• The Alma resolver augmentation function is a component of the Alma Link Resolver process that enhances OpenURL metadata with DOI, OAI, and PubMed information.  We recommend that you implement this, a one time only task.  Look under General Configuration > Integration Profiles > Add Integration Profile.  Note:  Ask Jessica at CO for CrossRef details. 
• Alma supports the ability to check the validity of the full-text URL before presenting it to the end user through the View It services menu. This functionality is only available for EBSCOhost – The EBSCO Link Resolver Plugin.  In an NZ environment, the Link Resolver Plugin integration profile must be created for the network institution and for all the member institutions.  We recommend that you agree to let Jessica implement this plugin for you.
• If you need to provide an openURL when submitting support cases, this Ex Libris document (How to Extract OpenURL) explains how to extract an openURL from Primo, Alma and Google Scholar.
