[Eril-l] Link resolver text

[Melissa Belvadi]

We use Check at UPEI for exactly the reason you describe. If we can afford
longer text, we use "Check at UPEI (Full Text Finder)" since we switched to
using EBSCO's FTF resolver, to keep the branding similar across
environments when possible.

My hope is that if they don't know exactly what the shorter one means,
they'll click on it anyway because it says something about UPEI, and
they'll be right.
