[Wactclc-alma] pubmed linkout

[Guidry, Wade]

I don't have any prior experience with this setup, but it appears that you can set up a PubMed publishing profile in Alma, as described here:

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/090Integrations_with_External_Systems/030Resource_Management/090Publishing_to_PubMed

This profile should output an XML file in the format required by LinkOut. (You'll need to point the profile at an FTP server at your institution.)

Assuming you have a LinkOut account set up with NLM, you would just need to get that XML file to NLM, and they would load it up for you.

Once those records were loaded, users should be able to find content in PubMed, and if you have access to the content, they'll get a link taking them to the appropriate record in Primo.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] pubmed linkout

Have any of our libraries set up PubMed LinkOut since going live on Alma?  We use to have it set up but it no longer is working since we migrated.  A librarian who is no longer here set it up the first time.  I need to get this up and running quickly because we teach a CINAHL/PubMed class for Nursing students each summer.   It looks thoroughly confusing (lots of FTPing files back and forth?) so I'd love to hear others' perceptions of the process, particularly with Alma.  I know it's been discussed recently on the national listserv but it's still clear as mud to me.

Thanks!
