New EndNote link resolver settings
Mutter. VUW Library are migrating their link resolver service from LinkFinderPlus to Journal Finder (which is already being used for holdings information for journals, and also known as Article Linker), so I spent some time working out some settings to replace my current EndNote setup. Basically: if you're game (I accept no responsibility for problems!), set your OpenURL path to
or
http://helicon.vuw.ac.nz:2081/http://gx4ej7nu5f.search.serialssolutions.com/
(choose either depending on whether you want to authenticate to the library's EZproxy server first or not), and set the path to ?rft.spage=SPAGE&rfr_id=info%3asid%2fsersol%3aRefinerQuery&sid=sersol%3aRefinerQuery&citationsubmit=LookUp&rft.aulast=AULAST&SS_doi=&rft.title=TITLE&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&SS_referer=http%3a%2f%2fgx4ej7nu5f.search.serialssolutions.com%2f%3fSS_Page%3drefiner%26SS_RefinerEditable%3dyes&rft_val_fmt=info%3aofi%2ffmt%3akev%3amtx%3ajournal&rft.date=DATE&rft.atitle=ATITLE&SS_ReferentFormat=JournalFormat&rft.volume=VOLUME&SS_LibHash=GX4EJ7NU5F&rft.issn=ISSN&rft.genre=article&rft.issue=ISSUE&rft.au=&SS_styleselector=0&rft.aufirst=AUFIRST
. (That's quite a long query string, so you may want to make sure that it's all pasted in there before complaining -- if you want to check, the last part of it should be 'AUFIRST
'.)
[Update, 21 August: another set of, possibly better, recommended EndNote settings!]
So far, my wrangled code only works for journal articles, which in any case is good enough for me. Books are easily done on an ISBN search directly on the library catalogue, and journal titles can be had with just the title or ISSN on Journal Finder directly, whereas journal articles have to get quite a few things entered in to Journal Finder -- that is, unless one already has a DOI number such as 10.1046/j.1365-2648.1993.18030416.x
.
If anyone still looks for my related Mozilla Firefox 1.0 extension for Google Scholar, if it's still working at all (and I haven't updated it for the last several Firefox releases), it probably won't work by whenever VUW Library finally switch off LinkFinderPlus. I'm not actively maintaining it now, either, as it was just a slightly customised version of someone else's Firefox extension. Though that (as at time of writing) five people downloaded the extension this week seems odd. Oh well. If I need use of it some time, I might take another look at it, but it's not high on the priority list at the moment.

Hi There,
The change over to Article Linker is now complete, please try these settings for your endnote preferences:
OpenURL Path: http://helicon.vuw.ac.nz:2048/login?url=http://gx4ej7nu5f.search.serialssolutions.com/
Arguments:
?sid=ISI:WoS&aufirst=AUFIRST&aulast=AULAST&issn=ISSN&isbn=ISBN&atitle=ATITLE&title=TITLE&volume=VOLUME&issue=ISSUE&date=DATE&spage=SPAGE&epage=EPAGE
Hope this works, let me know if you come across any problems :)

Thanks, Kirsten!
I see your recommended settings are much, much shorter so probably have a better chance at working. Heh.
(Again, for those with really badly paginating browsers like Internet Explorer -- the argument in Kirsten's suggested setup starts with ?sid= and ends with &epage
=EPAGE, if you want to make sure you pasted it all in.)
Additionally I see that Victoria have signed up for Google Scholar linking. Yay! This should be extremely useful with the links only appearing where there's copy status available (as opposed to the Firefox extension hack).
Cheers!
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I'd be interested to hear what people think about Google Scholar. It's really hard to scope how useful sending off our holdings is for students or how widely used GS has become.
Time for a shameless plug for VUW staff and students:
Link through to the Library's electronic resources from Google Scholar with ArticleLinker.
Setup is quick and easy. Go to Google Scholar Preferences. Under Library Links enter 'Victoria' - click 'Find Library' and select Victoria University of Wellington (Full-Text @ VUW Library), then 'Save Preferences' at the bottom of the page
If you are off-site enter from: http://helicon.vuw.ac.nz:2048/login?url=http://scholar.google.com or if you are on campus from: http://scholar.google.com
If you have any problems or any ideas for the library, feel free to email me :)
