Re: DIRECT LINK FROM SERIALS SOLUTIONS TO OPAC TITLE RECORD

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:

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.
