Gold Rush

Gold Rush is an electronic journal discovery service that incorporates metadata from over 115 providers and 700 databases representing over 50,000 unique journals. It offers institution-specific journal searching, linking services (Open URL), database comparison tools for collection development, and electronic resource management of subscriptions. For libraries in a consortium, Gold Rush will support serial collection comparisons between participants as well as the ability for patrons to switch identities in the search interface. Gold Rush is Web-based and very easy to use requiring no local hardware or software other than a current browser. It may be acquired in different packages from the non-profit Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries. More information is available at http://grweb.coalliance.org.
