So essentially we are saying "tell us where you work and we'll create the most appropriate links to fulltext articles for you." Right now the list of institutions and associated openurl servers has been assembled by hand based on feedback from users and librarians. A more exhaustive list would be welcome. Thanks, -- Alberto
