  4. LinkOut (via Submission Utility) • 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

  5. Linkout (via Submission Utility) Steps to activate your icon in PubMed: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/linkout_for_libraries/using_linkout.html#missingicon

  8. LinkOut Local • 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=NameAbbr • Steps to activate your icon in PubMed • Follow the same steps for LinkOut (via Submission Utility)
