Partner program for A&I database vendors
Link your abstract and index databases to full text and other FirstSearch content.

Cross-referencing is a beautiful thing: Integrate your Web-based information service with content in OCLC's FirstSearch reference service and let library end users move between them seamlessly via authenticated OpenURL links. Users at libraries that subscribe to your A&I service as well as FirstSearch's WorldCat database avoid multiple searches and get to the full range of services offered by an OCLC member library, including:

Present OpenURL linking partners include:

  • CSA EBSCOhost
  • Bowker Books in Print
  • Ulrichs
  • Ex Libris SFX
  • ProQuest
  • Gale Infotrac

OpenURL linking is based on standard numbers (ISSN, ISBN or OCLC Number), and OCLC can disable links to full text your service already offers. Our member libraries enable reciprocal, authenticated links to your service via their FirstSearch account administration. Talk to us soon to allow easy user access between your database and WorldCat services!
