SUMMARY. OpenURL link resolvers are a popular library technology that connects users to services related to a particular item, such as the full-text of an article, the location of a print journal, an interlibrary loan form, and a related Web search. Librarians at Illinois State University discuss applications of openURL linking beyond connecting citations in online databases to the full-text of the article. These applications include use in the library's online catalog, bibliographies, and usage statistics. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
