| Management of content in EDS means balancing the combination of EBSCO published (EBSCOHost) and non-EBSCO published metadata. EBSCO "manages" metadata and access issues in the same way that ExLibris maintains the back end, but we still have to activate targets to create access. Enabling metadata in EDS follows a three step process that must all be completed for something to be correctly searchable. Once something appears in your CORAL queue then you can start the process of enabling metadata. | Management of content in EDS means balancing the combination of EBSCO published (EBSCOHost) and non-EBSCO published metadata.

| - | ==== Activating Metadata for a Database ==== | + | ==== Understanding Linking ==== |
| + | Linking through EDS is rather complex, and has a variety of methods. This is due to our relationship with EBSCO as a publisher, a subscription agent, and as a discovery service. Basically there are three different types of links. | ||
| + | * HTML Full Text/PDF Full Text Links | ||
| + | * These appear when EBSCO has the content relating to whatever record you are viewing in one of the databases they publish and you subscribe to. It is one of the most common links users see in EDS. | ||
| + | * Smart Link Plus (Shown as Linked Full Text) | ||
| + | * These appear when EDS wants to link us to something we buy from EBSCO, but that they do not publish. This is for things like eJournals, packages, etc. | ||
| + | * CustomLinks (UMlinks, ILL Request, Catalog Links, Connect to Resource, Configured Publisher Icon) | ||
| + | * These are also very popular, as they are everything we have that is in EDS, but that we don't pay EBSCO for. | ||
