Why Dialog eLinks?

With subscription costs rising 10% to 20% a year, the cost of electronic journals may take a huge bite from the annual budget. Dialog eLinks allows our customers to take advantage of the relationships and licenses they already have in place with specific aggregators and publishers. Dialog eLinks seamlessly connects searchers to information that is complementary to Dialog online content, enabling customers to link to the "appropriate copy" of a fulltext article. Linking is provided free of charge as a service for customers.

Dialog assists customers in accessing fulltext from a tier of preferred sources, including:

• Fulltext from Dialog
  
  
• Locally-held copies, catalogued for internal holdings
  
  
• Fulltext from links to electronic journal titles to which the customer subscribes
  
  
• Document delivery to allow for ordering of one-off copies from a third-party supplier. See support.dialog.com/faq/docdelivery.shtml for more information on Dialog's document delivery service.
