Open URL Linking

Branding offers the option of linking to your library’s catalog for articles that are not available or embargoed in HeinOnline by enabling ISSN and/or OpenURL link resolvers. If the full text of an article is not yet available, this linking helps users determine if material is available elsewhere in their library.

For example, using Yale University's branding as an illustration, their library logo and a corresponding link are displayed in the right corner.

Yale's Law Library link takes users to a page with custom links to the law library catalog and the general library catalog.

If the full text of an article is not yet available, this linking helps users determine if material is available elsewhere in their library. For example, "Future-Proofing Law" is currently unavailable in HeinOnline. However, the Yale icon displayed gives users the ability to find a physical copy in their library.
