Ex Libris (USA), Inc.

SFX is an OpenURL-compliant, context-sensitive link server that allows linking between Web resources in the scholarly information environment. An SFX server facilitates the management of a library's interlinked electronic collection, by providing libraries with an independent means of enabling seamless interconnectivity among their ever-increasing collections of heterogeneous resources. Because SFX allows libraries to define the links between information resources, the resources become fully integrated in the overall library service no matter who hosts them--the library itself or external information providers. As of January 2003, there were 367 SFX customers in 24 countries; 70% of SFX customers are members of consortia.
