Links from FirstSearch 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. Sign on with your FirstSearch username and password. Usernames take the form ###-###-###.

    • To remove the link-to-holdings altogether, clear all the fields on the page.

      • 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.
