WorldCat Link Manager: New name, new features

Formerly known as 1Cate, WorldCat Link Manager allows users to link from an article citation to the full-text version of the article.

 The new name reflects the gradual merging of WorldCat data into Link Manager’s knowledgebase (and vice versa), as well as the increasing integration that users can expect between Link Manager and WorldCat. The new name coincides with the addition of several user-requested enhancements. The new release includes expanded access to eBooks as well as new customization options for administrators. Among the new features:

• The main search box adds an “autosuggest” feature that looks up titles as the user types.
• Results are now available in XML format via a full-featured API.
• The resource management system included in Link Manager now allows local administrators to customize coverage and add notes on records from the global knowledgebase.
• Links for eBooks can be retrieved by ISBN or title and can be displayed as a result set that integrates a library’s eBooks and eJournals.
