It is failing with any link resolver at all. It doesn't matter where the link is going to, the link does not work.

The more 'hidden' link that's presented for certain records underneath the hit still works. But the right-column link is not working -- probably because of a javascript bug of some kind, I'd say. It's got nothing to do with what link resolver you use.

Is it failing only with 360 Link, or with SFX, too? (We're 360 Link here.)

I just got word that Serials Solutions is "advocating with Google to
resolve it" whatever that means. Maybe they have an actual contact there.

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] google scholar link resolver links broken?!

Maybe they've got the same plans for Google Scholar as they did for Reader
and other much-adored Google products: to slowly crapify it until it
becomes nearly useless, then retire it on short notice.

Hi Jonathan,
I found a place for feedback, but I don't know if that will get to the
right folks at Google. Try:
https://support.google.com/scholar/contact/general

I just tried the using the FindIt@ links and they don't work for me
either.  Click and nothing happens.  I also had to re-ad my library to
the choices for the link resolver but they still don't work.

Google Scholar has a feature where it will provide links to your
local
institutional OpenURL link resolver -- by user preference or IP
address recognition.

It will then present these links sometimes in a right column in
Google
Scholar results, other times in the row of links under each hit.

The hyperlinks in the right column seem to be broken in current
Google
interface. Clicking on them has no effect. It seems like some kind of
javascript failure, although no javascript errors are raised in console.

If you "open in new tab" or "open in new window", thus skipping the
Google javascript -- it does work.

Many of our users use Google Scholar and count on link resolver
links
working. This is awfully inconvenient.

Anyone have any idea of any ways to report this to Google in such a
way
that they might actually care? Anyone got any internal contacts?
