Re: DIRECT LINK FROM SERIALS SOLUTIONS TO OPAC TITLE RECORD Adelaide Fletcher 16 Feb 2007 16:19 UTC

 We have III through a consortium and I was lucky enough to be able to
set up our links to print records without having to include the URLs for
each title (just a spreadsheet of titles, dates and some ISSNs). I don't
know if this is because SerSol works with III really well or if other
libraries in our consortium paved the way.

Hi Caitlin,
There are 2 documents in the Serials Solutions Client Center that may be
of help.  After you login to the Client Center, click on AMS to locate
"Include Print and/or Individual e-Journal Holdings" and also "Export
from OPAC" - there are specific instructions for Endeavor and III.  Here
is a link to the Client Center.  Then click on the "Support Center" link
in the upper right hand corner of the screen...same line with logout.

Just a note...I originally sent my local holdings and used the following
phrase:  UA Fort Smith Holdings in Paper, Micro, or Online.
Users would immediately assume we had online.  Last time I updated our
local holdings file, I created separate files for each format so
students would know they were looking for film or paper or online.
Here is a link to the entry for Western journal of nursing research:

S=AC_T_B&C=western+journal+of+nursing+research

Anne Lenzini in Tech Support was very helpful in explaining the best way
to do this.  She asked me to send her a spreadsheet with a "sheet"
(bottom of excel file) for each database in the following format:  ISSN
| Journal Title | Date Start | Date End | Holding URL

The Holding URL is where you enter your local library name with format.
 I can send a copy of our spreadsheet if you're interested.  Hope this
helps.
