    What are the basic configurations that Serials Solutions Implementation staff can help with customizing my library's 360 Link service?

    If you are new to OpenURL link resolvers and you are not sure how you would like your 360 Link service to look for your patrons, Serials Solutions' implementation staff can do some basic configuration for you, including customizing the look and feel of your E-Journal Portal and your 360 Link Results Page using your library website as a template.
    You can also look at other examples of 360 Link libraries.
    Inform the 360 Link implementation staff if you wish us to set up these basic configurations on your library's 360 Link service. (Communicate directly with the Serials Solutions staff person who sent you the setup information.) You will be notified when it is complete so you can review it. 360 Link implementation staff will be happy to make any adjustments needed.
    If you want us to use your library website as a visual template but it is not publicly accessible, please send the 360 Link implementation staff the html for your page header and footer.

    E-Journal Portal Configuration

    Here are a some of the basic configurations we can make for your E-Journal Portal:
    • Activate e-books for your E-Journal Portal. See E-Books Search Options for details.


    • Add some 360 Link functionality to your E-Journal Portal, including:

      • A link to your Citation Linker form, which looks like this:

        E-Journal Portal Search Page - Citation Linker



      • A search by DOI/PMID option, which looks like this:

        E-Journal Portal Search Page - DOI/PMID


      • Turn on Citation Linker in E-Journal Portal search results, which looks like this:


        E-Journal Portal Results Page - Citation Linker

    For complete customization options and explanations, see Customization Forms: E-Journal Portal Integration.

    360 Link Results Page Configuration

    Here are a some of the basic configurations we can make for your 360 Link Results Page:

    • Activate Citation Managers. See Administration Console -- Citation Managers for details.

    • Add some custom links that provide additional options that are useful for patrons when full text is not found; for example, when a patron searches your library catalog, requests an interlibrary loan, searches Google Scholar, or searches Summon (if your library subscribes to Summon). The 360 Link implementation staff will try to locate the information on your website, but if your website is not available publicly, please provide us the text you want us to use and the URLs:

    • Add communication options:

      • Email OpenURL Link: With one click, a patron will be able to create a new email message with the 360 Link URL already in the body of the message:

        360 Link Results Page - OpenURL Email

      • Email OpenURL Error: With one click, a patron will be able to create a new email message, automatically addressed to library staff, with the 360 Link URL already in the body of the message along with a warning not to delete the URL:

        360 Link Result Page - Error Email

      • Pop-Up OpenURL Link: With one click, a patron will see a new browser pop-up window with the 360 Link OpenURL. You can choose a plain popup with default colors and graphics, customize the popup to match your library's web pages, or ask us to create a custom popup for you:
