The library has implemented SFX, a resource-linking technology that allows users of research databases to link directly from an article citation or abstract in an external database to the full-text of an article (if available) or to local holdings in the IESE Library catalog or other relevant resources.

SFX simplifies electronic research by ensuring easy access to materials from heterogeneous sources. It eliminates the extra step of accessing and re-executing searches in different databases to retrieve relevant text and information.

Most useful SFX services available:

• Article Linker: use it when you know a specific article or journal citation and want to link to the full text. If a full text of an article is not available electronically, the user can seamlessly check the library catalog for print holdings or make a document delivery or interlibrary loan request.

• AZ List of e-journals: useful for locating any of the journals of the IESE Library collection by title, subject or publisher.
 
• SFX button: if you are searching in a database and you find a citation only for an article you need (ISI WoK, Econlit, BSP,…), SFX will provide a link to the full text of the citation in another database. Just look for any of the following buttons  .  that appear along with each reference and click on it.
