Project Name: Josiah link to OCA

Project Orginator: Bonnie Buzzell

Departmental Sponsor:

Project Description:
Ability to link to Open Content Alliance digital books from Josiah, similar to the link to Google Books. UNC is looking for others to work with them.

Why is this project important?
When we implemented links from Josiah to Google Books David Stern asked me if we could do the same thing for OCA material. Until now I didn't know of any library working on this. This would add important digital content for users of our collection, and also create links to our own digital objects that we have placed in OCA.
