Configuring a Custom URL and Public Name for Electronic Collections
The Electronic Collection Editor allows you to customize the Electronic Collection Level URL that links users to the collection. This may be necessary if you need to include client-specific parameters (such as an account ID) to the Electronic Collection Level URL that was provided during the activation of the electronic collection. For more information, see Working with Electronic Collection Bibliographic Records and URLs Added to the Community Zone.
