Discover how to configure and manage links to your institution's resources in WorldCat.org.

Configure access to items from your libraries

If you have a visibility subscription and an authenticated WorldCat.org user performs a search, they'll see any knowledge base links, outgoing OpenURL links, or interlibrary loan links that you have configured if they are within your IP range or logged in with you as a favorite library.

These links are controlled by a variety of OCLC products and services.

Screenshot of how to Configure access to items from your libraries

 

1. Get it from [library] link

You can configure and manage deep links so that patrons can arrive directly at an item record in your online catalog (OPAC) using WorldCat.org.

2. WorldCat knowledge base link

If available, the first link that appears under Access Online is based on your knowledge base holdings. A link will appear here if you have a collection set to Maintain holdings in WorldCat. You will need to deselect Maintain holdings in WorldCat in order to remove an item access link from WorldCat.org.

3. Full-text open URL link

The full-text open URL resolver will display according to how you have it configured in OCLC Service Configuration. You can adjust or configure OpenURL resolvers by navigating to WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Full Text OpenURL Resolvers (outgoing requests) in Service Configuration.

4. Request this item via link

An interlibrary loan link for your institution will appear if you have configured a resource sharing button (WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Place Hold/Request Buttons > Resource Sharing (Any Level)) in OCLC Service Configuration. The only way to remove this link is to remove the resource sharing button from Service Configuration.

Manage Open Access links

Links to Open Access items appear on the search results screen and the Item Details screen. Open Access links for any WorldCat record must include the link from field 856 subfield $7.

  • When $7 has value '0', then return the open access link
  • When $7 has no values and WorldCat record has 856 links only from one provider, then return that one link
  • When $7 has no values and WorldCat record has 856 links from more than one provider, then return the links in the following order (HathiTrust, Archive.org/Gutenburg, Government, DCG, Other)

When multiple Open Access links are available for an item, the Item Details screen will display a Show more drop-down menu (example).

Open Access links should not include:

  • LHR for any open access links
  • Links in other items from the formats and edition cluster
