Thanks Adam - here's a little more info on the data set that's just been released:
ReplyDeleteThe OpenURL Router Data is derived from the logs of the OpenURL Router, which directs user requests for academic papers to the appropriate UK institutional resolver. It enables UK institutions to register their resolver once only, at http://openurl.ac.uk, and service providers may then use openurl.ac.uk as the "base URL" for OpenURL links for UK HE and FE customers.
This is the product of JISC-funded project activity, and provides a unique data set. The data captured varies from request to request since different users enter different information into requests. Further information on the details of the data set, sample files and the data itself is available at http://openurl.ac.uk/doc/data/data.html. The team would like to thank all the institutions involved in this initiative for their participation.
