[Eril-l] Base URL for EBSCO EDS/FtF?

[Melissa Belvadi]

Just to clarify the previous two answers:

If you are trying to fill in the field that other websites ask for the base
URL for your openurl resolver (for the site in question to create
openurl-standard-compliant links into your FTF), Linda's answer is the one
you want:
http://resolver.ebscohost.com/openurl
<http://resolver.ebscohost.com/openurl>

If you are working with a site that isn't following the openurl standard
but wants to create persistent lookup links with a template URL that their
site then inserts a search term, like the ISSN into, you would use
something like Cynthia's link.

For instance, filling out the HeinOnline "branding" form, I gave them both
in the appropriate respective fields.

Here is what I gave them for the second one, for us (EBSCO customer ID
uprince):
http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=guest,ip&CustID=uprince&direct=true&bquery=#ISSN_NUMBER#&type=0&db=edspub

where #ISSN_NUMBER# is what HeinOnline wanted in the link as the
placeholder where they will substitute that info into the link.

Note by the way for this second kind of link, you have a choice on whether
to use the PFI profile interface, or the "edspub" pseudo-database within
the "eds" interface.
These have different settings in Customize Services in eadmin, which also
means different "bottom branding" custom widgets can be included in each.
