Forthcoming, but not yet available is the ability to view these features in the OCLC link resolver result page.

OCLC Discovery Integration Overview

The main purpose of the OCLC Discovery integration is to enhance the user experience for OCLC Discovery users by providing context-driven links within the interface as illustrated below and to promote journal engagement.  Below are the two main interactions that are enhanced in OCLC WorldCat Discovery using the LibKey API as well as some implementation variation options.

For either option, this service is publisher and holdings data dependent but is supported by a large number of publishers across all disciplines.

The setting to choose which behavior you would like for your users is in the OCLC Service Configuration under “Full Text and Open Access Links” and then Interface Name → Display first primary link only (which will produce the one-click PDF experience whenever possible) or Display all primary links (which will produce the tray experience to show a prioritized PDF one-click experience as well as other full text options for the article:

If a View PDF link cannot be created, the standard wording and behavior will be presented automatically (“View Full Text”).

Retracted Articles

Retracted Article designations are now available in WorldCat Discovery via LibKey. Users will see a retraction indicator when applicable, when the BrowZine (LibKey) integration is properly configured (see Step-by-Step Implementation Guide below).

When an institution has configured to use both LibKey AND links from DOI, the UI will prioritize links from LibKey over Unpaywall (the user will no longer see both link options to the same content). To leverage this functionality, “links from DOI” should be selected in Service Configuration > WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Full Text and Open Access Links.

The retraction notice will surface whether a library has “Display first primary link only” or “Display all primary links” selected in service configuration under Full Text and Open Access Links.  

For libraries that have the first primary link set to display, the retraction indicator will appear on search results as follows, with the “retracted article” notice and a “retracted article” label for the access online button.

...

For libraries with all primary links set to display, selecting the “Retracted article” button for an item with multiple e-links will pull out a drawer where the retracted article is labelled.

Libraries are invited to consider multiple different approaches to utilizing this API as well as other interactions to get the best use out of the BrowZine Journal Engagement Service:

  1. Utilize the External Search API to create a search box on your home page to link a user's journal query directly into BrowZine!  If the user's query turns out to not be for scholarly journals but only trade journals or popular ones that BrowZine does not cover, the search is auto-routed back to OCLC Discovery's A-Z!
