How can I preview and test my journal-level links?

There are several situations in which you may want to make changes to the title-level URL's for the journals tracked in your Client Center profile. For instance, you may set up a proxy, or customize the database-level URL and push that down to the title levels, or customize title URLs directly.

When you make changes to the URL associated with a journal the new URL will not be available to your library's patrons until the next day. However, we recommend that you test (preview) the journal-level links right away to make sure they work, using the following procedure:

1. In the Client Center, click Data Management.

2. For any database, click the Preview URL icon:

   

3. The resulting page will be a list of titles within the database you selected. Click on one of the Title URLs.

4. If the link doesn't take you to the location you expect, there may be something wrong with the URL or the proxy, or you may have entered the wrong prefix URL.
