Links from FirstSearch (or WorldCat) to I-Share VuFind Library Catalogs
To modify your links from FirstSearch to holdings data in your Voyager catalog
- Point your browser to http://firstsearch.oclc.org/admin or to https://www.worldcat.org/config/. Sign on with your OCLC authorization and password. Authorizations take the form ###-###-###.
(If you have lost track of your authorization or password, contact the ILLINET OCLC Office at 217-785-1532.)
- For FirstSearch, click on Linking. For WorldCat, click the WorldCat Registry link on the left, then the Online Catalog link from the menu that drops down.
- Click on Web Library Catalogs.
- Edit the linking URL.
- To remove the link-to-holdings altogether, clear all the fields on the page.
- To redirect the link to your VuFind catalog, edit the URL in, for instance, the ISSN Search Results URL field. Use the model:
http://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-xxx/Search/Home?start_over=1&type=isn&submit=Find&search=new&lookfor=
For OCLC Search Results
- check the box to add leading zeros
- select the radio button to add the ocn/ocm prefix
- use the model:
http://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-xxx/Search/Home?start_over=1&type=oclc&submit=Find&search=new&lookfor=(OCoLC)
Replace "xxx" with your library's three-letter code. Note that VuFind URLs are case sensitive.
- To change the text the user will see as the link to local holdings, edit the contents of the Library Name in Link Text field.
- Click on Save Changes.
- Click on Exit.
- Test your results.
