2.  LinkOut is a feature that adds a library- specific icon to PubMed citations.  This icon will link to: - the library’s online full-text subscriptions - local print holdings information - OpenURL-based service (link resolver) 2

3.  LinkOut offers three services:  LinkOut (via Submission Utility)  Outside Tool (requires a link resolver)  LinkOut Local (requires a link resolver) 3

4.  Specify holdings information  Two ways to submit holdings information  Enter holdings into Submission Utility  Vendor (i.e., EBSCO, Serials Solutions, ProQuest, etc.) can supply holdings information on behalf of library; holdings do not appear in the Submission Utility  The ?holding= parameter added to the PubMed URL triggers the library icon to appear on PubMed citations that correspond to the holdings information that has been supplied to LinkOut  URL to activate the library icon in PubMed: http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?holding=NameAbbr http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?holding=NameAbbr 4

5.  Steps to activate your icon in PubMed: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/linkout_for_libraries/using_linkout.html#missingicon 5

6.  No holdings information is required  The ?otool= parameter causes the library’s OpenURL/link resolver icon to appear on every citation in PubMed  These icons go to a landing page where users can do at least one of the following: - Click a link to the full-text article via the library’s online subscriptions - Click a link to the library’s catalog to find the printed article - Submit an ILL request  URL to activate the Otool icon in PubMed: http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?otool=NameAbbr http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?otool=NameAbbr 6

7.  Steps to activate your Otool icon in PubMed:  Go to: http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?otool=N ameAbbr http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?otool=N ameAbbr  Perform a search (i.e. cancer)  Select Abstract from the Display Settings menu and click Apply  You should see your icons 7

8.  Specify library holdings via XML files submitted to a NLM FTP site in lieu of the Submission Utility  The ?holding= parameter triggers the library icon to appear on PubMed citations that correspond to the holdings information that has been submitted in the XML file  URL to activate the library icon in PubMed: http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?holding=Name Abbr http://www/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?holding=Name Abbr  Steps to activate your icon in PubMed  Follow the same steps for LinkOut (via Submission Utility) 8
