The Library eResource Access Options can be used to control the prioritization of access options in the Library eResources list where more than one resource is available for any item. For example, if a journal is activated in the Ovid Discovery holdings for access via both the publisher and a vendor, the prioritisation in the Access Options determines which is the priority source to be used for linking to the journal.

 

For example, this Prioritization setting prioritizes access on Ovid over access via the Publisher website.

 

 

In the case of this journal, the Ovid access link is higher in the list of access options than the Publisher access link, and clicking on the title link will take the user to the journal on Ovid, rather than on the Publisher website.

 

 

The Access Options can be prioritised using a Simple or Fine Grained categorisation.

 

• Simple: Prioritise resources by the following broad categories:
  • Publisher
  • Vendor
  • Open Access
  • Pay Per View
  • Current Subscription
  • Library Catalog

 

• Fine Grained: Prioritise by the specific collections in the activated holdings and Publisher-direct titles.

 

 

To adjust the prioritisation simply drag each entry to the desired position in the list.

 

In the fine grained view, options are available to exclude selected collections. Excluding a collection suppresses full-text links from appearing for articles from journals in the selected collections.

 

 

Group Vendors

 

The option to group vendors consolidates links from multiple collections into a single link, when a journal is provided from multiple collections from the same vendor.
