With SFX, it's GIGO
Thanks to the Making Links blog (which focuses on the use of SFX in libraries) for this posting today demonstrating how quickly a bad citation in a database can foul up SFX's efforts to link to a database. It's that old rule, GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out).
If you are a staff member of the library and you work at the reference desk, you are likely already signed up as an author on this blog and should receive emails automatically with every new post as they are published. Please be aware that if you receive a post via email and you reply to it, it won't be visible on the blog itself. If you'd like to reply to a post, please add a comment to the post itself.
