OASIS supports OpenURL 1.0 linking to three different bibliographic fields enabling title, author and ISBN based searches of local resources, such as OPACs. It is very important to note that the success of these local searches will depend on the OpenURL 1.0 configuration a library has established in OASIS Administration, and upon the nature of the targets it points to. Only the resolver portion of the URL needs to be specified. For example, this is a valid OpenURL 1.0 resolver that points back to OASIS:
http://www.couttsoasis.com/OpenURL?
In absence of OpenURL 1.0 resolver support, libraries may choose to specify a catalogue check URL. The catalogue check URL is backwards compatible with the previous method of using a $ISBN substitution, and only supports search by ISBN. For example, a library may have a URL like http://library.university.edu/checkcatalogue?id=$ISBN where OASIS will substitute $ISBN with an actual ISBN.
If OASIS does not see the $ISBN placeholder in the catalogue check URL, it will assume the provided URL is an OpenURL resolver.
The catalogue check URL may be set by an OASIS Administrator in Administration/Manage Group. Below is an example of an ISBN setup:
