AutoOpenURL resolver

Openly Informatics has come up with this very cool Firefox extension. It can call up your OpenURL resolver from any web page (i.e., ciatation coming from somewhere that isn't an sfx source!) as long as the citation follows the LatentOpenURL format, a proposal for this standard is being discussed on the GCS-PCS Listserv.

  You'll need our SFX address info. It's something like http://sfx.library.jhu.edu:8000/jhu_sfx [I'm sending this posting to Nathan in the hope that he will post a comment with the correct address.]
  Give the link a name you'll recognize (like 'What does this button do?')

  This is an open access journal whose references have been re-written as LatentOpenURLs. Here's what you do.
  
  
  1. Find an article in this journal
     
  2. Go to the reference page of that article
     
  3. Click on any article cited in the references
  
  All references in this journal have been Latent OpenURL-enabled. So you should see a link below the citation. The link will have the name you gave it -- Like 'What does this button do?'
