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

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

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

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

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
