Add Unpaywall full text availability in Leganto
We have enabled links to Unpaywall in Primo VE with the "enableopenaccessservicesfromunpaywallapi" setting in Config->Fulfillment->General->Other Settings. However, these links don't appear in Leganto, only Primo. I opened a case with Support [#00984855] and they confirm that this is the expected behaviour: the Unpaywall Open Access API service is presently only available through Primo.
Our Leganto users would benefit from having Ex Libris add Unpaywall full text availability to Leganto, so that they could easily see these resources are available. Some Leganto users would see the "Full text not available" and not use the resource or would create an unnecessary request to the library for the resource. While links to these articles could be added manually, these would be static links and would not benefit from changes and additions to resources in the Unpaywall service.

great suggestion, though I am surprised that those links are not in Leganto - thought Ex Libris wanted these systems fully integrated. If that's the case, then there shouldn't be instances where links like this exist in Primo VE but not in Leganto.
