Article Availability Link

Site administrators who want to provide a customized search interface can use the Article Availability link to determine the format availability of individual articles. Using this link behind the scenes, you can include visual indicators such as buttons to provide both access to and feedback about format availability.

For example, for the article corresponding to Document ID 98765432, ProQuest Direct would return a page that looks similar to this:

Abstract YES http://proquest.umi.com/link/Req=1&Did=98765432&Fmt=Abs&Cert=xxx
Full Text YES http://proquest.umi.com/link/Req=1&Did=98765432&Fmt=FT&Cert=xxx
Text+Graphics NO http://proquest.umi.com/link/nodocument.html
Page Image YES http://proquest.umi.com/link/Req=1&Did=98765432&Fmt=Page&Cert=xxx

Use the Master Link generator to access the Article Availability link.
