What is Journal Finder?

Journal Finder® is an all-encompassing solution that combines an A-Z list, link resolver, and electronic resource management (ERM) system into one user-friendly platform. It provides library patrons with straightforward access to electronic resources through an interface designed by librarians specifically to improve the overall user experience. Originally created in 2000 by the University of North Carolina - Greensboro team, Journal Finder was notable for being the first OpenURL Link Resolver launched in the United States. After its acquisition by WT Cox in 2008, the platform has ensured that all journal titles are accessible via a single point of entry. Users can reach these titles through multiple methods, such as electronic formats, print options, interlibrary loans, and document delivery services. The content list is automatically updated, eliminating server issues for libraries as it is hosted by WT Cox. This system is also highly customizable, allowing it to align seamlessly with the library's website while providing insightful management reports and a user-friendly administration interface for maintaining content. Furthermore, it acts as a foundational ERM tool for all electronic resources, enabling smooth transitions from citations in commercial databases to the library catalog or full-text articles in alternative databases. This capability not only improves accessibility for users but also fosters better management of resources within the library framework, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and streamlined research process.
