[Eril-l] EBSCO new UI for BSI and link resolver problem

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Kris is right, and further, if you have only the one link for any particular record, instead of seeing Access Options, you'll see a button for just that link, so saves patrons a mouse-step.

I believe you need to apply the link resolver custom link in EBSCOadmin > Customize Services > [your bsi profile] > Linking > Custom Links.

Hi Everyone



We recently moved to the EBSCO new UI.



We decided to go with the new BSI interface (BSC and Business Premier) as well.



Today, we realized that the link resolver is not appearing for no full text articles on the BSI profile. Results simply do not have any linking options.



Our other 60+ EBSCO databases (on the ehost profile) are working fine, displaying the link resolver option.  To be clear, we do not use EBSCO discovery service. We are on Primo VE.



We opened a support case with EBSCO.  I can confirm that other libraries in our CSU system are also experiencing this problem, so, I want to draw it to your attention, wondering if you are also seeing this.



Here are images showing what I mean.



BSI interface: no linking option

Academic Search Complete: linking option
