In order for the full text link of an article in a journal in a database to be displayed correctly, the common identifier of the article must match in the data records of the selected collection and in the database. If there are mismatches between the identifiers, it is possible to change the ISSN and eISSN in the journal in the Collection Manager.

The less bibliographic information in a search, such as having the partial instead of the full title, the less likely the AtoZ list will be able to match to the item and so generate links. By contrast Discovery matches based on holdings on the OCLC number, and so will not vary the number of links it generates due to the search terms used. Page ID
