As far as I can see through testing, Google Scholar attempts to link at the article level and does not produce links to embargoed content.  We do get links to local print holdings, which we may or may not have in full-text, but that's a different story.

Does Google Scholar link to embargoed content? I'm assuming it does.

Thanks.

Subject: [SERIALST] EBSCO Link Source and Google Scholar

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone has had the experience of waiting an an undue amount of time for Google Scholar to be configured to work with LinkSource?

My recollection from several years ago is that it took about a week or two for Serials Solutions to configure Google Scholar to work with their product.

I have no other complaints about LinkSource, so far it seems to do what it's supposed to and is relatively easy to work with, but our institution notified EBSCO in August that we wanted Google Scholar to work with LinkSource and in my opinion it shouldn't take more than a month for this to get done.  But perhaps I am being unreasonable or my memory isn't serving me well regarding our Serials Solutions experience.

Can anyone involved with the purchase ofLinkSource share their experiences regarding this issue.

Thanks, Ed
