LinkOutLinkOutTips and TricksTips and Tricks

Alternate methods Ebsco users can ask Ebsco to automatically load holdings information from EBSCO’s full text databases and Electronic Journals Service (EJS) to LinkOut. Ebsco can load holdings one time or on a continual basis. Only titles listed under “Ebsco” on the providers list will be effected.

http://support.epnet.com/custsupport/UserDocumentation PubMed.doc


Alternate methods Note: When Ebsco sends files on a continual basis, the titles will NOT be visible in the submission utility and you cannot manage them. The links created by this file will be shown in PubMed.

To avoid unexpected results like duplicate links, you should delete all holdings you marked under Ebsco in the submission utility BEFORE Ebsco sends your file to us.


Alternate methods OhioLink users can ask OhioLink to add online holdings

Serhold users can have print holdings uploaded and maintained via Serhold/OCLC. Once loaded, any new or edited records should be automatically sent to LinkOut for loading.


Display Multiple Holdings

Icons for multiple libraries can be displayed in LinkOut The other library must have holdings (online or print) already loaded in LinkOut
