Presentation Transcript

  1. LinkOut Consolidation Webinar Sarah Helson National Library of Medicine

  2. LinkOut for Libraries • Allows libraries to share their holdings with users • Places an icon on citations in PubMed • Three services: • LinkOut • LinkOut Local • Outside Tool

  3. Updates • Transitioning to Outside Tool only • Now until the end of 2019 • LinkOut and LinkOut Local will be available in PubMed until the end of 2019

  4. Reasoning • NLM retains a file for each library using LinkOut or LinkOut Local that tells us the journals they have access to. • These files are very large and resource heavy to process • Example: "0098-7484" [is] AND 1998/01/07:2020/12/31[dp] • The new technological approach will allow for more efficient, effective, and reliable daily PubMed indexing.

  5. Outside Tool Requirements • Link Resolver – either from a vendor or open source • ILL form that pre-populates the form with PubMed citation information • Email form pre-filled with citation information is acceptable

  6. Benefits of Outside Tool • Library’s icon on every citation in PubMed • Libraries currently using LinkOut or LinkOut Local no longer need to generate and maintain their extensive holdings records in our system. • Libraries will be able to see their Outside Tool icon in PubMed Mobile

  7. Libraries with LinkOut or LinkOut Local • Switch to Outside Tool by the end of 2019 • Link resolver and ILL form required • Publisher icons will remain in PubMed

  8. Libraries with Outside Tool • Not impacted by the transition • Recommendation: update your contact information in the Submission Utility

  9. Next Steps • Libraries using LinkOut or LinkOut Local will need to switch to Outside Tool by the end of 2019 • NLM booth at MLA – May 4th-6th • Expanded our team to answer your questions

  10. Resources • Outside Tool Registration information • Frequently Asked Questions • Contact Us: https://support.nlm.nih.gov/
