Create links to e-sources on external sites

After you set up e-source targets, you can place links to specific e-source targets on other webpages outside the library catalog.

To find and copy the e-source link:

1. In PowerPAC, select Search > E-Sources.

   The E-Source Home screen appears.

2. Select an e-source category.

   The E-Source Targets screen appears.

3. Right-click the e-source target you want to link to and select Copy link address or Copy link. (The name of the menu option might vary by web browser.)

   

4. Paste the link address in the HTML file where you want to create a new link to the e-source target.

When users click the link, the link uses the authentication criteria and access restrictions placed on the e-source target as follows:

• If the e-source does not require users to sign in, PowerPAC routes the user directly to the e-source.
• If the e-source requires users to sign in, PowerPAC prompts the user to sign in.
