Medline-LINK - a linksystem for integrating search and procurement of literature

Medline-LINK - a linksystem for integrating search and procurement of liter ature Meanwhile there are many commercial and even some non-commercial database p roducers and services which use the facilities of the WWW. They offer their databases with the standard components connecting the search results by hy perlinks to electronic fulltexts, connecting them to other databases or cat alogues or ordering online a single article in a local library or the Subit o system. Medline-LINK here shows the same facilities by connecting search results with locally available electronic journals or with library catalogu es. In addition to that, an automatic function is integrated to fill in an order form. The linking system bases on javascript, and there I have found an easy but hitherto unknown method to paste the whole list of results of a database (50 to 200 titles) into the textarea field of a form. After that it is possible to handle it with javascript. Medline-LINK applies this link ing system to the very efficient database PubMed which is free in the inter net. The E-journals the University Library Regensburg has bought for member s and in addition a lot of Elsevier journals are the main resources availab le in this test version. The connection from the result list to the locatio ns of journals of the BVB or GBV is supported by the ISSN number which is s ought while the program is running. The function of automatically ordering articles is demonstrated. The online interlibrary loan form of the Universi ty Library Regensburg is taken as an example.
