<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m hoping someone on this list might have an idea about how to solve a problem we encounter frequently at our library.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a subscription to PsycINFO on the OVID platform. We use both Links@Ovid and SerialsSolution’s 360 Link to as link resolvers on the Ovid platform.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When our users find a citation to a dissertation in PsycINFO, it’s actually a citation for Dissertation Abstracts International: Section A or Section B. Therefore, those links don’t resolve to full-text even though we all know the users
want to find the actual dissertation in full-text, not the abstract. And we DO have the full text of dissertations, through ProQuest, for the ones listed in Section B.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a way to direct those links to ProQuest’s Dissertations database instead?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The best idea I’ve come up with on my own is creating another link to ProQuest Dissertations in the 360 Link pop-up window that tells users to click on it if their citation says “Dissertation abstracts international”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there’s a better way to do it directly using Links@Ovid, though, that would be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
