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.

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

The right hand links are now working for us as well (360 Link). They were not working an hour ago, so I'm assuming that Google either has it resolved or is working on a resolution. On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 1:05 PM, Michel, Jason miche...@miamioh.edu wrote: We tested it here and it seems to be
