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

Tue Jul 30 09:16:52 PDT 2019

I use a FTF URL that incorporates our EBSCO customer ID and group.

https://resolver.ebscohost.com/openurl?authtype=ip,cookie,guest,uid&custid=current&groupid=main

I usually put our EZproxy stem in front of it for a variety of reasons.

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 <https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fresolver.ebscohost.com%2Fopenurl&data=02%7C01%7Cathena%40ucf.edu%7Cb1e28e05843f4df1b46b08d714f13d0e%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C0%7C637000898659814785&sdata=cAvnja5wxfx%2Fenqp%2Fa%2BZ6BHLfxkWuiBD4SRcIQSbwKY%3D&reserved=0>

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<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebscohost.com%2Flogin.aspx%3Fauthtype%3Dguest%2Cip%26CustID%3Duprince%26direct%3Dtrue%26bquery%3D%23ISSN_NUMBER%23%26type%3D0%26db%3Dedspub&data=02%7C01%7Cathena%40ucf.edu%7Cb1e28e05843f4df1b46b08d714f13d0e%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C0%7C637000898659814785&sdata=wPGgWmIjno6jRy8LuLs3uriFHy4ZECUtMo%2BBTwU%2FG4c%3D&reserved=0>

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.

Diane -  I just set this up for FullText Finder in our main III menus. I haven’t put it into the link resolver yet.

For FullText Finder, I started with our ATLA direct URL and changed the profile to point to FTF

Hi,

My library is switching to the EDS discovery layer and Full Text Finder package. My question is, how do I determine the Base URL? Anybody who has this already set up, can you send me examples? In the past with other link resolvers it’s been a pretty simple “URL plus ID #” format, but for whatever reason I’m having trouble figuring this out for EBSCO.

Bonus question: is the Base URL for BrowZine different than for other vendors, or the same?

Thanks in advance,
