I don't think what I do will work for OpenBook; but you might figure it out from the \
following info.  
 I construct URLs one at a time for catalog results by passing parameters to the \
searchresults page. This is done slightly differently depending on what website \
platform is being used. Ours look something like this:  
http://www.yourdomain.com/searchresult.aspx?bid=64576534 You may be able to get \
examples of how to do this from the documentation for your ILS.  
This example is based on our own unique identifier for each record. If you can \
configure one that is based on the ISBN that works to retrieve correct book records \
in your catalog AND you can configure the links in OpenBook to use the string you \
supply (the whole URL construct with everything but the variable value) and then \
specify to OpenBook what value from their record that you want to tack onto the \
string, you may be able to set up something that works.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Configuring an OpenURL Resolver


Is it possible to configure an OpenURL Resolver yourself?  If so, does anyone have \
simple instructions for how to do it?  I am in trying to configure the WordPress \
Plugin OpenBook for use on our new website (which is in development,) and I'd like \
the book data to link back to our own catalog.  Does anyone have experience with \
doing this if you don't already have an OpenURL resolver? 

Thanks!

Rachel
