UlrichsWeb
Partners
Ulrich's works with publishers and providers worldwide to benefit our clients in common. Learn how these Ulrichsweb.com linking partners and options can benefit your library.

Serials Solutions

Ulrichsweb.com offers an Advanced Search feature to all Ulrichsweb.com subscribers that lets you identify the e-resources that are tracked by Serials Solutions.

Mutual subscribers of Ulrichsweb.com and Serials Solutions can take advantage of a number of options that integrate Ulrich's with the e-resource tools in the Serials Solutions® 360 Suite.

  • Ulrichsweb.com can be configured as both a source and a target of OpenURL links to Serials Solutions® 360 Link, to connect users to detailed bibliographic information about the full-text journals, refereed publications, A&I databases, and other resources to which your library subscribes.
  • Bi-directional linking with the Serials Solutions AMS™ E-Journal Portal lets users link directly from Ulrich's records to the titles you have access to, and lets users in your A-to-Z Title List link directly to Ulrich's for bibliographic “Title Details from Ulrichsweb.com”.
  • Ulrichsweb.com can be searched by Serials Solutions® 360 Search, providing federated search results directly from Ulrich's.

Ulrich's Serials Analysis System™ users who are Serials Solutions customers can create ISSN lists of their e-resource holdings in the Serials Solutions Client Center, for easy uploading into their Ulrich's Serials Analysis System account.

JCR® Web

Since 2001, Ulrich's and Thomson Scientific's Journal Citation Reports® on the Web (JCR® Web) have partnered to provide mutual subscribers with bi-directional linking between these two important serials information services.

Mutual subscribers can enable an Ulrichsweb.com link into JCR Web for easy access to the Impact Factor trend graphs, citation statistics and other elements of their JCR Web account. From JCR Web, users of that service can link into their Ulrichsweb.com accounts for direct access to rich bibliographic information, full-text reviews and other details about the peer-reviewed titles covered in JCR Web Science Edition and Social Science Edition.

Ulrichsweb.com users who are not JCR Web subscribers can still identify the titles tracked in JCR Web Science Edition and Social Science Edition through an Advanced Search limit option.

Copyright Clearance Center

Ulrichsweb.com integrates the CCC's extensive rights licensing database to give librarians, staff and researchers the ability to search, price and obtain the rights they need for uses such as interlibrary loan (ILL), document delivery, electronic reserves and coursepacks—directly from Ulrich's records. Subscribers with CCC Permissions Direct accounts can select the "Get Permissions" link on the Advertising, Rights & Demographics tab of an Ulrich's record to be automatically directed to the appropriate permission services and search results pages on copyright.com. There is no need to re-enter information or conduct another title search in order to connect.

Ulrichsweb.com users who do not utilize Copyright Clearance Center services can still learn which titles are covered, by selecting "CCC" from the Features & Attributes index in either Advanced Search mode or Browse.

ScienceDirect® and Scopus®

If your library subscribes to ScienceDirect®, you can enable a link from Ulrichsweb.com into that Elsevier service to give your library's users direct access to tables of contents, article full-text and more—right from an Ulrich's record. Users will see a ScienceDirect logo on Ulrich's records when this link is enabled.

Ulrichsweb.com users who are not ScienceDirect subscribers can still identify the titles tracked in ScienceDirect through an Advanced Search limit option.

If your library subscribes to Scopus®, you can enable links from citations in the Scopus database directly into your Ulrichsweb.com account, providing your library's users with a seamless way to view rich bibliographic information, full-text reviews, additional A&I source lists and other details from Ulrich's for individual journals.

OCLC WorldCat®

Since 2003, Ulrichsweb.com has partnered with OCLC to provide a seamless link to OCLC WorldCat® for libraries via OCLC FirstSearch Authorization. If you are an OCLC FirstSearch subscriber and choose to enable this link, your library's users can click on the WorldCat graphical icon in an Ulrich's record to launch a search for that serial in WorldCat holdings. Fulfillment options that you have activated in OCLC FirstSearch—such as OCLC Interlibrary Loan, links to JSTOR and netLibrary eBooks—will also appear.

Open Access journals

Ulrichsweb.com users can easily identify thousands of Open Access (OA) journals—and link to their full-text content—through an Advanced Search feature. Titles in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) are included, as are other publications that support a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access.

Publications with limited free access—such as those that may be available free for only for a select period of time, or that have other restrictions on free use—are included in Ulrichsweb.com but are not found using the “Open Access&rtquo; limiter. To find all free publications, a user can select the Price Range “Free” option in Advanced Search.

Library OPACs

The Ulrichsweb.com “Search My Library's Catalog” feature allows users to identify: 1) periodicals your library has on the shelves and 2) electronic resources to which your library subscribes.

When configuring “Search My Library's Catalog”, you may select one of two options for how to output catalog results to the user: 1) web-based display via predictable URL; OR 2) record-based Z39.50 display.

If you select web-based linking, you can set up “Search My Library's Catalog” directly via a predictable (stable) URL link from Ulrichsweb.com to your library's OPAC. Searches are on a title-by-title and/or ISSN-by-ISSN basis.

If you have a Z39.50 compliant catalog with ISSN or "fuzzy" title searching, you can offer this capability to your Ulrichsweb.com users. Up to 5 separate library catalogs can be made available for searching (one at a time), as long each of those catalogs is Z39.50 compliant.

OpenURL link resolvers

If your library's electronic resources are OpenURL-enabled, it's easy to set up your Ulrichsweb.com account as a "source" for OpenURL resolver linking. Setting up Ulrichsweb.com as a source of OpenURL links means that you can connect to your OpenURL-enabled resources directly from an Ulrichsweb.com bibliographic record. You can also configure your OpenURL resolver to point to Ulrichsweb.com as a “target&rdq that provides title-level details about the journals and other e-serials in your library's A-to-Z list or catalog.

Some of the OpenURL resolvers that libraries are using to connect Ulrichsweb.com to their library's other serials resources include: Serials Solutions® 360 Link; SFX from ExLibris; WebBridge from Innovative Interfaces; LinkSource from EBSCO; 1Cate from OCLC Openly Informatics; and Ovid LinkSolver.

  • Providers who offer RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds of serials information
