Enter your EZproxy base URL. This will prepend any LHR or OPAC links to direct off-campus users through your proxy server. For more information about configuring EZproxy, see EZproxy for WorldCat knowledge base links.
Note: EZproxy configuration for WorldCat knowledge base links is managed in the EZproxy WorldCat Knowledge Base "Settings" module.
WorldCat Discovery displays primary links on the search results and is exposed on the detailed view of a record.
Configure link display order in the WorldCat Discovery section of Collection Manager Settings module. See WorldCat Discovery for more information.
View now links are only returned for the following content types:
Notes:
Enable LHRs in the OPAC Statuses, Locations and Circulation Policies module.
Links from the LHR will display when a link is contained in the 856 $u field.

Note: Central Index articles inherit the item type from the parent journal. If the representative record of the ISSN associated with the article is a mass-digitized item, the article will also be considered a mass digitized item.
WorldCat Discovery uses WorldCat MARC Indicator 40 to inform availability link displays and uses WorldCat MARC indicator 41 or 42 to inform description displays.

Vendors will sometimes provide OCLC with 856 links for Central Index records. These 856 links will not appear in the OCLC record, but are mapped from the Central Index. Checking this box will allow those vendor-provided links to appear in your WorldCat Discovery instance, and will display as an Access Online button. It is important to remember that these links are not passed through the institution's proxy and are not matched with knowledge base holdings. Therefore, users are likely to hit a login or pay for access page, and will not reach a full text article.
Users can access open content using DOI full text and open access links provided by Unpaywall. For more information see, https://unpaywall.org/faq. When enabled, DOIs will inform the Access Online action on search results, detailed records, and Course Reserves. DOIs are compared to Unpaywall data to ensure that only DOIs leading to open access content display. When a DOI leads to a downloadable PDF, a View PDF button appears on DOI links enhanced by Unpaywall. When it cannot be determined that a DOI link informed by Unpaywall leads to a PDF, a link to Access Online <insert DOI> appears. If a DOI is not present in Unpaywall, the DOI will not inform the Access Online button, but will continue to display in the Description of detailed records.
Note: If a user encounters a link from Unpaywall that does not lead to Open Access, you will need to contact Unpaywall directly to have the link corrected. Please see, How can I tell if a link is from the WorldCat Knowledgebase or is a DOI link? to determine if the link in question is a DOI link.
WorldCat Discovery collapses the display of other links on the detailed view of a record.
Determine whether to display all primary links or the first primary link only on search results and Course Reserves.
The first primary link will display on search results and Course Reserves for all material types except when an e-serial has multiple full-text access options.
An Alternate Links textual link will display immediately below the primary access option button. This offers users the option to choose either:
• The primary access option button to connect with content at the first primary link.
• The Alternate Links textual link to open the drawer that presents all primary links.
Determine whether to display all primary links. If configured, when an item has multiple e-link access options available, a drawer displaying all primary links will open for all material types when the user clicks the full-text button.
Choose whether to display the following links in the detailed record view of WorldCat Local.
Note: Links from the WorldCat knowledge base may contain open access/free content.
