Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Direct linking to NYT in Factiva

I think your link resolver/journal A-Z service should be able to link directly to the latest headlines for Factiva titles, but you probably need to input your library's XSID into a local field that will automatically add it to the URL output from your service.   

 

Would look like this (minus your library's off-campus proxy prepend):

https://global.factiva.com/en/du/headlines.asp?searchText=rst%3DNYTF&XSID=........[a really long mish mash of numbers/letters]

 

Factiva is a true aggregator, so you can't really see volumes and issues for serials, only a collection of articles, but each title in Factiva has a unique code(rst) that I would expect most link resolver (or A-Z journal) service should be able to create a link from.

 

For NYT it is: NYTF

It may be that the NYT is what, for academic library customers, ProQuest-Factiva refers to as a title that is only ‘Available through Third-Party Subscription Services’, meaning that such a title requires a separate subscription for access / linking.  However, it is probably more likely that the license agreement ProQuest-Factiva has with the publisher of the NYT precludes linking directly to that resource from within Factiva.  I suggest you contact your ProQuest-Factiva Customer Svc / Accnt rep and find out what the actual, current reason is.  (We did not renew our Factiva subscription at the end of 2015, not related to this issue, but due to its local cost-per-use stats and our overall budgetary situation & strategy. Factiva was one of several  databases and a swath of journals that were not renewed for 2016.)  -- Gaele

We aren’t able to link directly to titles in Factiva either, but I would love to hear if there’s a solution that I don’t know about!

Are any other academic libraries able to link directly to the NYT in Factiva? A librarian would like to list this resource for a class, but Factiva indicated this type of direct linking was not available on academic accounts.

 

Thanks in advance!
