Hi everyone! (first post!)
We've been getting lots of feedback at my library about the problem with the NY
Times paywall and the lack of institutional access to their website, but we do
have a subscription to a Proquest database which includes all current content
that is included in the print
This thread got me thinking about what I learned during a time when I actually

Next on my list are:

I would like to add a link to IMDB for the feature films that we have in our
catalog. IMDB doesn't appear to have ISBNs. Is there a way to link the MARC
record with the IMDB record without manually searching IMDB to find each
movie? Thanks, Rich
If I were doing this, I'd use the Freebase (freebase.com) API and write a
little app that returns the IMDB title stem (ex: tt0460791) for each of the
films you're trying to match up.

Has anybody used John Wohlers'php-sip2 http://code.google.com/p/php-sip2/ in

Any idea how those got there, Roy? Manually added by Catalogers? (To

Sure, I've experimented myself with getting around the paywall's
restrictions, it's not hard.
It's not something I would suggest my organization publically (or even
privately, really) recommend to users or instruct users in how to do,
however.
There's a role for libraries in this stuff, but
These are in 856 fields, and I doubt there was any automated process
to add them, which means catalogers manually added them.

This is more or less what I expected. To be sure, I don't think it would be
reasonable for an organization to put into practice any real paywall-dodging
code, as opposed to redirecting the users to a legit alternative source. Using
legitimate resources that we have access to is definitely the
