Links from FirstSearch (or WorldCat) to I-Share VuFind Library Catalogs

To modify your links from FirstSearch to holdings data in your Voyager catalog

    1. 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.)

    2. 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.

    3. Click on Web Library Catalogs.

    4. 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.

    5. Click on Save Changes.

    6. Click on Exit.

    7. Test your results.
