WebBridge has now been split into two new products, WebBridge LR and Pathfinder. Support for the original or legacy WebBridge will continue, but new features added to the new products will most likely not be rolled into the legacy product. Current WebBridge customers have the option to either stay with the legacy edition or move to the new product. However, they will only get one of the two modules for free. This means legacy customers will have to buy one of the two new products to get the functionality of what they now have in the older product. Many librarians at the meeting expressed displeasure with this fact at the meeting.
To get print holdings to display more like the e-journal links, we could load our print holdings into WB, if we can get our holdings out of the catalog. Or, another solutions is to somehow use Z39.50 (Georgetown has done it), not sure I understand this approach.
It is best to use the sort order to put the best linking databases before those that are more problematic.
To keep checking the links you could grab openurl for each and put it on a page and do a link check periodically.
