You may have noticed this little “Find it!” button in

online databases. It is what we call a “link resolver.”

Clicking the link resolver will take you to a page with options for finding full text

of the record. This is accomplished through a Technology called “Open

URL.”

This bit in the address bar is the URL for Hunter’s Link Resolver Service. We will

use that to set up Zotero.
