[Eril-l] Link resolver text

[Arndt,Theresa]

We use "Get It" - it provides either the full-text or a link to submit an ILL request, so either way you can get it.  It also provides an option to search Google Scholar with a click, which sometimes will find an OA version.

Hello all,

For those of you who have a link resolver and have activated it within databases and on publisher’s websites, what do you use for the link resolver text (mouseover text when there is an image or on websites where you can’t include an image at all)?

Our current practice is to use “Full Text @ BNL”, but I’m rethinking that after a question from a user.  I can see how it would be unclear and give the impression that clicking will always lead to accessible full text, instead of CHECKING for accessible full text, which is really what’s happening.  But how to convey that and keep it short and sweet?  “Check for Full Text @ BNL”?


Thank you,
Leah Donley
