The URL supplied by SS is the following:

http://sirsi.marywood.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/x/0/5/?searchdata1=0000-0019

The last 8 digits are the ISSN of the journal you are trying to link and that is the only part of the URL string that needs to be modified.  If adding a journal you should put this string in the default URL box.

FYI... Good news.
I spoke to Courtney this morning.  She will read over the links to documentation that Serials Solutions sent to me when she gets back next week. I asked her to follow through and to contact Stephen Gilewski at Serials Solutions to learn how to find the urls necessary to successfully add a persistent link at the title specific level.  I asked her to then share her findings.  Looks like we are back in business and that is is all doable.  I'm really glad that I got to the bottom of this linking problem. It should help lessen frustration felt by our end users (and us!)! 
Thanks,

Hello all,
  I haven't heard back from anyone yet about this and was wondering if we could perhaps go over this in the morning?
Thanks,

Article Linker Question re: OPAC
Discussion Thread
Response (Stephen G.)	08/04/2010 02:29 PM
Hi Michelle, You can provide links directly to your OPAC records using 360 Core. Your "Marywood University's Print Holdings" did not include title level URLs though, only the main OPAC URL. So, this where all your title level links were going to. I went ahead and built title level URLs for your titles and uploaded the new file. The links will now point to the title record (or at least to a multiple results page). These changes will take effect tomorrow after our cache refreshes. I built the URLs based on ISSN (when available) and the title when not. I have attached two spreadsheets here, one is the original file that was being used, (3aug) and the other is the updated file I created and uploaded (4aug). If you have updates to make to your print holdings database, you can make them in this spreadsheet. This way you will be certain it is in the proper format so it can be reuploaded easily. Additionally, if you find any URLs are not working, you can change them in the Client Center. I have attached links to documentation below that detail the process of making changes/uploading titles in the Client Center: Answer Title: 360 Core: Library-Managed Holdings: Uploading Multiple Titles to a New Library-Specific Holdings Database Answer Link: http://support.serialssolutions.com/cgi-bin/serialssolutions.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=285&p_created=1200710806 Answer Title: 360 Core: Library-Managed Holdings: Updating Your Library-Specific Holdings Database Answer Link: http://support.serialssolutions.com/cgi-bin/serialssolutions.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=288&p_created=1200952364 If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to let us know.

Hi SS folks, If we subscribe to Serials Solutions Article Linker, are we able to link from the A-Z list directly into the title record on our OPAC? Please see 2 screen shots attached. Currently, we go from the A-Z list to the search screen in our OPAC (instead of the record for the title). This is often confusing to our users as they expect to be led to the title itself in one step. It works fine for our other databases.
