“…Depending on the database, GODOT will usually link the citation with a direct link; when a direct link is not available, the software will provide issue or journal level links to the resource (Stranack, 2008). In order to use the full power of GODOT, it was configured to search GTC's online catalog (SIRSI), Google, and Google Scholar.…”

The onerous cost of traditional vendor electronic resource management products have often excluded smaller academic libraries from providing basic services such as OpenURL link resolving, federated searching, etc. At very best, libraries often forsake one service for another, and therefore, are unable to provide the same level of comprehensive research capabilities as larger, well-funded academic libraries. Fortunately for small academic libraries, the zeitgeist of open source software has inspired the Simon Fraser University Library to provide an open source integrated suite of electronic resource management products called reSearcher which has been adopted by a broad spectrum of academic libraries -from research to community college libraries.This session will focus on demonstrating several components of reSearcher as well as describing its implementation. reSearcher's efficacy will also be compared to some commercial offerings

I wish to acknowledge the contributions of my husband, Leonard Collins, for writing the reference notes and providing thoughtful edits to this paper (as well as looking after our three children). He has been wonderfully supportive and patient during the many hours spent on this project. I also would like to thank Liz Burnette, Head of Acquisitions at NCSU Libraries, for her continued support of my research and professional service.
