Il context-sensitive linking alla prova degli utenti

The introduction, in the first years of 2000, of tools which can guarantee a context-sensitive linking to the library collections has represented a great innovation as well as a possible answer to a long-lasting expectation. The present article analyses the use of SFX - renamed SIRIO: Servizi Informativi e Risorse Online - at the three libraries of the Universitiy of Studies of Brescia in the first 4 months of 2006. In the examined period 11,258 demands have been recorded, originating 8,420 clickthrough (74,8%), to be considered as effective uses of specific SFX services. The highest relationship between demands and clickthrough on a service has been recorded for the link to the full text document (85,1%), followed by the access to the printed materials catalogues (55,2%) and by the demands for interlibrary services (12,0%)
