    The Citation Linker lightbox allows users to search for citations of type article, book, and journal via a form in order to view full text or request additional services (such as ILL).

    Because Alma only supports the Exact precision option for title searches, the precision drop-down field does not appear in the lightbox for Alma users.

    For information on configuring the Citation Linker, see Configuring the Citation Linker.

    Note that in order to be able to search by Digital Object Identifier (DOI) in the Citation Linker you must have a Resolver Augmentation integration profile. This integration enables querying the CrossRef database using a DOI to obtain complete article-level metadata. For information on configuring this integration profile, see Alma Resolver Augmentation.

    To use the Citation Linker to make a resource sharing request:
    1. Select Citation Linker in the Primo Front End.
