Adding Gale InfoMarks To Your Web Site
One of the added benefits of the Gale Group Databases is that you can provide direct links to specific searches, journal titles, articles or saved lists of materials right from your web site. This is a great way to provide online bibliographies of full-text materials for your patrons. Here's how.
- Go to the Gale Group Database of your choice and perform your search.
Look
for the InfoMark icon.
An InfoMark icon like the one to the right will appear on any page that is able to be saved as a link. You will be able to save InfoMarks for searches, titles of journals, specific articles or marked lists.- Copy the resulting
URL.
In the results window of a page displaying the InfoMark icon, simply highlight and copy (CONTROL + C) the URL that displays in the Location or Address box of your browser. The URL will be quite long and is not easily hand-typed as a link. - Add the link to
your web page.
In your web page editor (Dreamweaver for most of us), type the text you want users to click on to access your InfoMark page - highlight the text, drop your cursor in the LINK box of the Properties window and paste (CONTROL + V) the copied URL.
NOTE: If you copied a URL from the General Reference Center (GRC), you will need to remove the first portion of the link that displays a web session. InfoMarks in GRC will begin like this:
http://web4.infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/.........(the link is LONG, ignore these dots)
After pasting the copied URL, you would simply need to remove the web4. from the link, so it would look like this:
http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/.......(the link is LONG, ignore these dots)
- Save your page and test the links.
