In the maze of online reference dat abases and full text library res ources, how do you find the exact article you need? Isitavailableonline? Isitinour printcollection? You look at the electronic journal list and check the library catalog, hut it's a tangled web of " check here, then check there, and perhaps try over there,"
To make the process easil'r, you will now see a green Get This Item burton in most of the Libraries' databases. The Libraries have purchased Article Linker, a link resol ver hosted hy Serials Solutions that reads metadara contained in o pcn- Ultl. s to quickly link you to available electronic ankles. Get This Item uses an opcn- Ukl. to determine whether the Libraries have access to the article you want in online full text and brings together all other means of access- Blais, other library catalogs, interlibrary loan- in a sing le window.
What is an open- URL? Open- URL is a st andard syntax that provides a way to communicate citation information as a web address. That means that all the relevant citation info rmation for an article, including author, article & journal titles, vo lume & iss ue numbers, and date are se nt in a URI. format for quick location of the full text electronic article in the Libraries' digital collections.
The open- URi standard is a cooperative- effort: citation source databases must prov ide the citation inform ation in the metadata behind their re cords and publishers must do the same for the full text articles in their electronic journals. So urce metadata is translated by a link resolver and matched to Iulltcxt tar gets identified by the Libraries' holdings d atabase; when an appropriate copy is found, a direct link to the article is created. Wh en no full text is found in the Libraries' collections, other ways of
searching for the article are

" I never go to the library." These are six words guaranteed to make librarians cringe. Yet, these days the words are spoken mon- andmore often. Ievenhearthemfromstaunchlibrary supporters. At first frustrating, then puzzling, and finally accepted, the truth is that so me faculty and students never set foot in one of our four library buildings. Nevertheless, the reality is they may, in fact. " go to the library" every day. Granted, it is a virtual trip, but still a trip to the library .
Because our collections and services are increasingly deliv ered electronically, i. e., viaavirtualenvironment, the " library" is no longerbuilding- bound. Instead, ourlibrarycollections include books, microforms, multimedia, digital objects, and other items scancrcd across the world in our partner libraries and on remote servers. They and many of our services are available to you and your students without regard to whether you make the trip to one of ou r four libraries.
With this in mind, it now seems only natural that we anoint
our Libraries web site ( hup:// lihrarics.. lar - mont. edu) as our " fifth library." It is from this web site that you can make connections to the online services and resources that now comprise your libra ry. The following are just a few samp les of " going to the library" without leaving your office or home.
•
Check the citation in one of our many periodical abstracting and indexing databases for an article your colleague mentioned in her last email.
•
Find the full text of the citation by clicking on the " get this item " grecn icon .
•
Det ermine the status of an interlibrary loan request you made via the web last week.
•
Keep current with research in your field by reading articles of inter'st from the more than 12,000 journals we have avail able electronically.
•
Verify a specific fact from the many reference materials in our " virtual reference collection."
•
Request a book from one of our Link+ partner libraries.
•
Have an article not in our collections delivered to your desktop via interlibrary loan or Ingenra
•
And, last but nor least, click on " Ask a Librarian" to send a question via email ( usually answered wi thin 24 hours) or, when a reference librarian is on duty, have your question answered in real time.
We know that many of you still make the trip to our physical buildings. In fact, our building use statistics increased in 2003/ 04 over the previous year- an e ncouraging sign. Whether you visit us in person or via the many electronic resources and services accessed through our Web Site, we hope that you find " guing to the library " a rewarding and pleasant experience.

Special Collections contd.
Recently, Special Collections acquired one of the fifty first editions of the opera through the Lawrence Seymour Opera fund. Only the Overture is engraved in this edition, the remainder of the score is printed as a lithographic facsimile of the composer's manuscript. The difference in printing technique is attributed to the publisher's reluctance to invest funds in engraving : I full score of an opera that he thought might flop. Initial investors would be surprised to find that one- hundred and eleven years later Hansel und Gretel remains a profitable offering in the Schott music catalogue.
What makes the Claremont copy of the opera unique is the performance directions annotated in the score by Willem de Haan 0 819- 1935), conductor at the Hoftheater in Darmsta dt. The score includes Haan's mctrkal and tempo markings, corrections to the musical text, and stage directions for the productions he conducted during his tenure at Darmstadt from 1894- 1914.
