EBSCOhost links to full text articles from other EBSCOhost databases or from electronic journals subscribed to through EBSCO Subscription Services using the EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Service (EJS). When checking for links, SmartLinks searches all full text databases your EBSCOhost administrator makes available.
SmartLinks are present in the Result List and in the Full Record when:
The article does not contain full text or a page image (PDF) but is available in full text in another EBSCOhost database.
The article is available in an electronic journal your institution subscribes to through EJS.
To link directly to the article, click the hyperlinked article title.
Persistent linking lets users retrieve an EBSCOhost article by clicking on a link embedded in a web site. This feature lets professors, teachers and librarians include links to articles within EBSCOhost on their web pages.
Persistent links to articles can be emailed or saved. When you email search results, persistent links to articles are automatically included with the email. Persistent links to searches can also be added to the folder and emailed or saved.
Only authorized users can access the articles. A user who cannot be authenticated is prompted with an error message indicating that he does not have the proper access rights for the article.
The library administrator activates persistent linking through EBSCOadmin.
If your library supports an online public access catalog, your library administrator can make links to it available on the full record display next to the "View Links" heading.
The text of the link varies, but generally reads "Check library catalog for this item." Clicking this link takes you to your library holdings catalog page (often in a new browser window).
From this page you can see if the journal is available in your library. Depending on the features available in your library catalog, you may be able to request the item through interlibrary loan.
If made available by your library administrator, you may also be able to link to: document delivery services, book services, search engines, and other linking servers.
