This is due to our relationship with EBSCO as a publisher, a subscription agent, and as a discovery service. Basically there are four different types of links. |
| - | * HTML Full Text/PDF Full Text Links (Called Smart Links) | + | * UMass: Link to Resource (Aleph Holdings Record Links) |
| - | * These appear when EBSCO has the content relating to whatever record you are viewing in one of the databases they publish and you subscribe to. It is one of the most common links users see in EDS. | + | * Metadata provided from MARC records in Aleph with 856's from the holdings record powering the linking. For eResources, these links appear for cover records and batch loads. The Link brings you directly to content at the publisher site. |
| - | * Smart Link Plus (Shown as Linked Full Text) | + | * HTML Full Text/PDF Full Text Links (Smart Links) |
| + | * These appear when EBSCO has the content relating to whatever record you are viewing in one of the databases they publish and you subscribe to. It is one of the most common links users see in EDS. Unsure whether HLM affects this or if the data comes from the EJS knowledgebase (EBSCONet). | ||
| + | * Linked Full Text (Smart Linking+) | ||
| * These appear when EDS wants to link us to something we buy from EBSCO, but that they do not publish. This is for things like eJournals, packages, etc. These links are powered by the EJS Knowledgebase (EBSCONet) and **NOT** HLM. | * These appear when EDS wants to link us to something we buy from EBSCO, but that they do not publish.

| - | * These are also very popular, as they are everything we have that is in EDS, but that we don't pay EBSCO for. | + | * These are managed by UMass to facilitate full text linking to content we subscribe to outside of EBSCO (although this is not a hard rule.) If there is not a Smart Link, SmartLink+, or CustomLink, then the SFX or ILL button will appear on a record. |
