In WorldCat Discovery results

When a search result for an article in WorldCat Discovery contains a DOI and LibKey Discovery returns a full-text link, the link will display in the search results and at the item record with a View PDF button. It will also display first in Access Online area of item detail views with other Primary links. This button will display if more than one link is present.

In the Full Text and Open access links module of the OCLC Service Configuration:

  • If the option to Display first primary link only is enabled, the link will display on the interface search results and item details Access Options panel as a View PDF button when a search result for an article in WorldCat Discovery contains a DOI which finds a match in the LibKey PDF service and LibKey Discovery returns a full text link.
  • If you have configured to Display all primary links on search results and on the Access Options panel, the button to expand the list of links will display the text View PDF in the WorldCat Discovery search results and item details Access Options. Selecting the button will open a drawer containing additional e-links to the item.

Retracted articles

When a search result for an article in WorldCat Discovery contains a DOI and an ISSN recognized by LibKey, WorldCat Discovery will provide a link to retracted articles to allow users to be informed about the credibility of an article during their research process. If the article has been retracted, the Retracted article button will display. 

  • To display retracted articles, in the Full Text and Open access links module of the OCLC Service Configuration:
    • Select Links from DOI under Primary Links. The retraction notice will surface regardless of whether Display all primary links or Display first primary link only is selected.
      • If Display first primary link only is selected, the retraction indicator will appear on search results with the Retracted article notice and a Retracted article label for the access online button.
      • If Display all primary links is selected, selecting the Retracted article button for an item with multiple e-links will pull out a drawer where the retracted article is labeled as such.

In the A - Z list

When an article search in the A - Z list contains a DOI and LibKey Discovery returns a full-text link, the link will display as the first link in the A - Z article details page.

When users navigate to your WorldCat Discovery A - Z list from Google Scholar or any third-party database using OCLC's link resolver, they will see the LibKey Discovery integration display when the integration returns links to View PDF and Explore articles from the issue containing the article or the most recent issue of the journal.
