How to use the OpenURL-Resolver of my library


Goal: These instructions help you to connect your PUMA user profile with your library's URL resolver. This way all URLs, also in publications, can be resolved via your library.

Prerequisite: You have to know the URL of the library OpenURL-Resolver. You can ask your librarian or you can open this URL in your library's/university's network: find out the OpenURL-Resolver.

You will get the following output (as an example):

<File:Resolver.png>

If you know the resolver's URL, complete the following steps:

 <File:Resolver1.png>

  2. Click on "settings".

  3. Under "contact", enter the URL-Resolver's URL into the field "OpenURL".
