Google Scholar has a feature where it will provide links to your local
institutional OpenURL link resolver -- by user preference or IP address
recognition.
It will then present these links sometimes in a right column in Google
Scholar results, other times in the row of links under each hit.
The hyperlinks in the right column seem to be broken in current Google
interface. Clicking on them has no effect. It seems like some kind of
javascript failure, although no javascript errors are raised in console.
If you "open in new tab" or "open in new window", thus skipping the
Google javascript -- it does work.
Many of our users use Google Scholar and count on link resolver links
working. This is awfully inconvenient.
Anyone have any idea of any ways to report this to Google in such a way
that they might actually care? Anyone got any internal contacts?
