Examples of link out to full text

The following slides demonstrate the linking out to full text article

This is demonstrating a non doi link Meaning, that it takes me to the journal and

possibly the issue, but not directly to the article.

Since I didn’t log-in upon entering WCL the first requirement on linking out is verification.

Response

We have had implementation for only three months, which have mainly been our large field work months.

OCLC did get our Patron Placed Hold system to work, so we have full functionality of previous catalog with addition of some database, web searching.

There has been positive feed back. My worry is that many may not use the full range of

resources we have available.
