For the SFX Target, I think all I need to do is get the proper Parser (which generates the URL), and the Parse params (variables), and save it as a new Target. Then it should be an easy matter to add a "Search for this title in Koha" link to the SFX menu. I'd love to see Koha function as an Open Link Resolver. IndexData has a Perl module, Keystone::Resolver, which may be a start. http://search.cpan.org/~mirk/Keystone-Resolver-1.18/lib/Keystone/Resolver.pm. We'd also need to look at some of our Zebra indexes and make sure they can be mapped to OpenURL fields. I'll share all the info as it comes my way, and once I get it working, publish a how-to (may take a while).

Has anyone gotten their installation of Ex Libris' SFX Open Link Resolver to successfully generate a link to search their Koha catalogue for a journal/e-book? I'm working with the configurations right now, and just can't seem to get them right.
I'd love to see this working, and would welcome any information you might come up with on this. My understanding is that at this stage Koha can generate an OpenURL from a record using COinS. But not the other way around. I.e. cannot receive an OpenURL and translate it to a request Zebra can process. But I'm not a developer and I might be wrong on this. Folks, please correct me if I'm wrong. If that's the case, though, I'd be interested in knowing what would be needed for that to happen.
