Access Electronic Resources through SFX with Voyager OPAC

Abstract

Sharon Hu, Director of Information Systems and Technical Services, Chicago State University; Lorraine Lazouskas, Coordinator of Bibliographic Control, Chicago State University:
Chicago State University Library has SFX setup with Voyager through the Consortia (CARLI). We configured our electronic resources within SFX and linked through Voyager ILS. It makes the library users can directly and conveniently access electronic resources through Voyager OPAC. In addition, without using expensive electronic resources management system, we bulk imported all MARC records of the full text electronic resources (in titles) subscribed from multiple vendors with their multiple accessing URLs in 856 fields to the Voyager system, which makes the library users directly access the e-resources through Voyager OPAC, rather than separately through the Web pages of electronic resources. The practical processes and operational procedures are presented.
