Link to works using an ISSN

In the same way that you can support enrichment features from Syndetics Unbound and other third-party library integrations using ISBNs, you can link to works (titles) using any of the ISSN numbers found in individual instance records (bibliographic records) that belong to a work-level roll up in Vega Discover. If a third-party library product requires an ISSN lookup to link to materials in your catalog, you can provide the vendor with a URL template.

Link structure

To create a link to a work, use the following structure:

https://<vega_base_url>/search/card?issn=<issn>

Example

At New York Public Library, the Vega Discover base URL is https://nypl.na2.iiivega.com. Therefore, a link to ISSN
0191-0965 looks like this:

https://nypl.na2.iiivega.com/search/card?issn=0191-0965
