Do you work with a discovery service and a link resolver? If so, you can help the NISO Tracking Link Origins Working Group <http://www.niso.org/workrooms/linkorigins> develop a NISO Recommended Practice by completing this 5-minute survey: https://umich.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cAYyW8rv9TyQmbz The Tracking Link Origins working group wants to understand the range of tools in place between citations and full text at a variety of libraries and institutions. Understanding this navigation path -- often transparent to the user -- is complicated because waystations on the path from origin to destination often rewrite referring URLs, masking the actual origin of the traffic to the organization that provides the content. This brief survey will help us understand common pathways from citation sources through library authentication and authorization to the full text. If you opt to provide your name and contact information, a member of our group may follow up with you to better understand the specifics of your institution’s particular setup. If you have questions about this survey, please address them to: Ken Varnum University of Michigan Library Co-chair of the Tracking Link Origins Working Group [log in to unmask] Sincerely, Lisa O’Hara, University of Manitoba Danielle Reisch, Wiley Emily Singley, Boston College Matthew Treskon, Loyola University Ken Varnum, University of Michigan Julie Zhu, IEEE -- Ken Varnum Senior Program Manager for Discovery, Delivery, and Library Analytics Library Information Technology | University of Michigan Library [log in to unmask] | @varnum | 734-615-3287 https://www.lib.umich.edu/users/varnum
