LinkSolver
LinkSolver is a universal link resolver that provides end-users with linking capabilities to access your organization's library collection of web-based content regardless of where they reside (EBSCO, STAT!Ref or any other database that dwells with a different vendor). LinkSolver is available to HKN members and can be enabled by Library Administrators.
To enable this feature, Please follow these steps:
1. Send a request to support@ovid.com include:
Name of your organization
Your Administrator Account Number & PW (hkn***admin/hkn***99)
2. Once confirmed with Ovid:
Log into Ovid with Administrator ID and PW (hkn***admin / hkn***99)
Select Admin Tools tab
Click on "LinkSolver(tm)"
Click on IP Range (on-site) Account (hkn99***)
Under "Activate Links" column, select the product you license for example, "EBSCOHost Full Text".
Repeat for all other full text collections to which you subscribe
Document Delivery Option:
If you want to link to document delivery services, beside "show" drop down menu, select "document delivery". Check on service relevant to your organization. (Eg. If your organization has an agreement with CISTI, check beside CISTI) For further assistance, please contact: OVID Technica Support - email: support@ovid.com or by phone: 1-801-304-3387
Library Holdings Option:
Repeat above steps for ID and PW Account. For further assistance, please contact OVID Technical Support - email: support@ovid.com or by phone: 1-801-304-3387
3. Confirm with the organization/ vendor that you license full text from to ensure LinkSolver is fully enabled. If you are searching an Ovid bibliographic database and subscribe to full text on another platform, "Full Text" links will appear in the Ovid bibliographic citation to allow you to link to the platform that contains full text article.
If you are searching a bibliographic database on a different platform and subscribe to full text on the Ovid platform, "Ovid LinkSolver" will now appear in the bibliographic citation to allow you to link to the Ovid full text article.
