Where will my OpenURL links appear in MUSE?

Where do I find my OpenURL links?

This first image shows the search terms. Since a search includes all journals in MUSE, the search results may include articles that you do not have full-text access to because they are not part of the Project MUSE collection to which your institution subscribes.

OpenURL initial search screen

The second image shows what the results look like for an article you have access to (look for the full access icon next to links for HTML and PDF versions) and an article you do not have full-text access to (look for a third link called [OpenURL at Example University]). When a user clicks on [OpenURL at Example University] they will be directed to your link resolver. Librarians are encouraged to supply MUSE with text they want to display for the link when they submit their OpenURL set up form. The default wording for the OpenURL link as shown in the image will be used if text specific for your institution is not provided.

OpenURL search results screen

This final image shows what appears if you click on the [View HTML] link for an article for which you do not have full-text access. The link goes to the MUSE Access Restricted page. The first box on the right hand side "ACCESS RESTRICTED" contains a link to your library's OpenURL resolver.
