Why are so many Google links appearing on my Discovery record?

Applies to
  • WorldCat Discovery
Answer

In the Service Configuration, if you have selected to display links from LHRs in the WorldCat Local Search Results // WorldCat Discovery Search Results and Detailed Views and the WorldCat Local Detailed Record Page and your LHR 856 fields contain all of the Google links, then these will all show up on the Discovery Record.

If you would like to keep this setting, then removing the links from your LHR will remove them from Discovery.

Additional information

If the above is not the reason for these links, then it is possible your selection of "Links from WorldCat record 856 and 956 to open access content / free content" is the issue.

You can find all of these settings in Service Configuration>WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local>Full Text and Open Access Links>WorldCat Local Search Results // WorldCat Discovery Search Results and Detailed Views and WorldCat Local Detailed Record Page.
