Enable linking to Ministry Matters full text content in the legacy or research library
Create effective links from discovery to content in the Ministry Matters research library (and its legacy library). The links that are produced today (on our 360 Link pages anyway) do not deliver the user to the full text to which a library is subscribed. Instead, they land users on a product page where it looks like they need to buy the book. In 2020, our library and then ExLibris each tried in vain to get Abingdon Press to produce updated title lists and URLs that would resolve from subscribers' discovery services/link resolvers to legacy research library on its Ministry Matters platform. (Support Case Number 00805282) We (the library) tried contacting Abingdon a second time ourselves in early May 2021, also to no avail. It's very frustrating for our patrons (and us).
Hello,
Since we are unable to receive an updated sustainable title list from the provider, unfortunately there is nothing we can do to improve the linking for this collection.
Therefore this idea will be closed.
Thanks for your support,
