Project MUSE Expands OpenURL Linking

Project MUSE now supports OpenURL 1.0 which provides linking for search results to journals for which no subscription exists. The expanded implementation of OpenURL is part of an ongoing effort by MUSE to provide more options for subscribers and their users. Now, when a user tries to retrieve a MUSE journal not subscribed to by their institution, the institution-supplied link on the turnaway page will point the user to alternative resources for the articles.
