Ok I swear I do not have stock nor any vested interest in Serials Solutions. I just have been doing a lot of journal and web page work lately.

On Serials Solutions web page (once you have logged in as customer) under Title Searching there is a web page entitled Adding the Title Search Functionality. It allows you to integrate the journal search feature into your website. You just cut and paste a few lines of HTML into your library's website.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel I went back to their site to see if they had the code to add Search by PMID to your web page. Just recently Serials Solutions made it possible to search for the full text of an article by PMID number. As you might guess this is a huge time saver for us and our patrons who want the full text.

Unfortunately their website as of today did not have information on how to do that. So I decided to look at the code and give it a shot. Actually it was very very simple.

For all those who have Serials Solutions and Article Linker and want to have Search by PMID on their website (similar to Search by Journal Title) here is the necessary code that you must paste into your web site. You must replace the orange code with your own Serials Solutions code which is seen at the beginning of your url to your Serials Solutions Portal.

For example: http://jd8zk9qy8j.search.serialssolutions.com/
The bolded letter number sequence is the code.
Note: this is not a active code, it has been changed but your code will be similar.

Additionally, I changed all of the HTML brackets <> to [] because that is the only way I could get stupid Blogger to post my HTML. (Yes I did try commenting out and other tricks but Blogger tried to out smart me.) So when you cut and paste the HTML in your site be sure and do a search for the square brackets and replace with the carrot brackets. Sorry.

I hope this is helpful for anybody who wants to add this to their site. If you have problems with this, please comment and I will try and see what I did wrong in my copy and pasting.
