Be sure to check… • Appropriate prefix for your campus library • No spaces between prefix and vendor PURL • That prefix/PURL combo works from computer not on your campus network • That instructions are included as to correct UN/PW combo to use.
Be aware that… • Different Vendors call PURLs different things • A PURL that works great on campus may not work for off campus students • You will need to adjust the prefix of your PURL for the audience (strictly your campus or visiting students?)
