Launchpad to ArticlesPlus links

Ed Summers edited this page Jan 8, 2014 · 22 revisions

This page describes how to create hypertext links on the Launchpad page that would trigger a search in ArticlesPlus (Summon).

The text in the "example" column of the following table has the URL prefix

http://gw.summon.serialssolutions.com/search?s.q=

Optionally, the flag that excludes Newspaper Articles could also be added

s.fvf%5B%5D=ContentType%2CNewspaper+Article%2Ct

Or, only include items in the catalog:

s.cmd=addTextFilter(SourceType%5C:%5C(%22Library+Catalog%22%5C))

Use a plus symbol (+) to represent spacing between search terms.

Optionally, use these codes to represent certain characters:

  • %20 space characters
  • %22 quote
  • %3A colon
