Database Linking Instructions

1. Search by provider, ProQuest Ebooks, to find your desired database.
2. Navigate to the Database Details page for the database.
3. Click on Edit.
4. In the Custom URL field, enter the custom URL you use to access the database using all lower-case letters. For example, your library's URL will be http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/exlsite, where "exlsite" will be substituted by your library's Site ID for ProQuest Ebooks.

• Do not include a trailing slash in this URL (for example, http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/exlsite/ is incorrect).
• If the link is incorrect, then that will break the direct linking in Summon.

5. Check the Display In checkboxes for all of the services in which you want the database to appear.
6. Click on Save.
