<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, is there a user forum devoted to discovery services? Or one devoted to EBSCO EDS?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if not, let me ask this, as it involves OCLC too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have recently implemented EBSCO EDS. The widget for OCLC, and access to books outside of our collections, points either to
<a href="http://www.worldcat.org">www.worldcat.org</a> or to virginiatheolseminary.worldcat.org, a customization we have as part of our FirstSearch subscription. I have asked EBSCO, and so far have not turned up a widget that would link to the virginiatheolseminary.worldcat.org/discovery
WorldCat Discovery interface. But that’s the interface that currently has our online ILL forms. That’s what I’m trying to achieve – an online ILL form for books not in EBSCO EDS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One solution would be the ability to put an automated ILL link on the
<a href="http://www.worldcat.org">www.worldcat.org</a> interface, but I don’t seem to see that (although now that I think of it, perhaps logging on to Worldcat is what turns that on?). And I don’t know where it is that a person configures the older pre-discovery
interface for <a href="http://www.worldcat.org">www.worldcat.org</a>. Can an OCLC user enlighten me?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or the second solution would be an EBSCO widget that linked to WorldCat Discovery (not the older interface). Is there an EBSCO user who knows whether that exists?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
