Provide links to e-sources on external sites

After you set up e-source targets, you can place links to specific e-source targets in other Web site locations, outside the catalog. To find and copy the e-source link:

1. Right-click the e-source target on your PowerPAC e-sources page and select Properties from the context menu. The Properties dialog box displays the URL in the Address (URL) field.
2. To select the link, position the cursor at the start of the Address (URL) field, hold down the Shift key, and use the down arrow key to select all of the text.

 

3. Right-click the selected URL, and select Copy.
4. Paste the URL as a hypertext link. The external link uses the authentication criteria and access restrictions placed on the target.

• If the e-source does not require logon, the user will go directly to that e-source.
• If a logon is required, the user will go to the library’s e-sources page where they can click a link to log on.
