OpenURL everywhere
After a minor programming error (which forced the good people at UCS to clear the entire database set not once, but twice... hey, it's been 4 years of programming and I hadn't crashed the server yet - I was due, I guess. Thanks, Ron, Troy, Mike, Dale and Travis for saving the day!), The OpenURL link is in all of our subsription databases that will allow it (someday LexisNexis will come into the 21st century and support OpenURL..). Yipee!
There are still a few know bugs (for example records without ISSNs are not always searching right and I will be creating "if, then, else" statements for different date formats well into the future in order to get links to show only when there is a really good likelihood that the article is in the database) but, for the most part, the system is working smoothly.
