Abstract (English) | In the self-service area of the library reading rooms it is necessary to organise the collections in the simplest way possible. This is an important feature for readers making it possible to get direct access to the material without necessarily having to go via the library catalogue to retrieve the call number. A typical example will be that a collection is organised so that a reader can easily get directly from an article reference to the article itself in a library where the journal collection simply is organised alphabetically. This requirement seems to have been forgotten by many of the most important actors in the digital library, both by the commercial publishers and many of the bodies producing grey literature. How are the users supposed to get directly to report xyz without having to navigate through n different web pages? This is on top happening in "The Library" which is intended to be close to 100% based on self-service! CERN Library has developed a mechanism, "Go direct", which handles the problem. So far it only processes articles published in journals, due to it's success it will however be extended to also include grey literature issued in series holding a report number. CERN Library catalogue uses "Go direct" to automatically generate links from bibliographic information to the corresponding fulltext of a document. The talk gives an overview of the present situation concerning link managers and URL architecture in the field of electronic publishing within high-energy physics.
