Summary:Full text linking practices generally fall into three categories: internal, external, or hybrid. Publishers and aggregators have for some time employed both internal and external linking, but they are increasingly using a mixture of internal and external linking, or hybrid linking. New affiliations, such as the CrossRef organization, and new context-sensitive linking technologies, such as SFX, provide the possibility of unprecedented, article-level access to full text. These new affiliations and technologies also complicate the linking landscape for librarians. Librarians must be able to navigate this complicated linking landscape in order to provide the best service for their users.
