Currently, AbstractPlus shows full text icon links for the publisher and PubMed Central top right above Related Links. All other link icons are displayed at the bottem below the PMID. NLM said that while they have not seen any decrease in the usage of library icons since the new AbstractPlus format was introduced, they understand librarian's concerns regarding the position of their icon. So NLM has decided to allow one library icon to be located above the Related Links area. Expect this change around March 2007. Libraries are limited to only one icon for top placement and it must be no larger than 100 pixels by 25 pixels.

The NLM Technical bulletin states that the library icon should be "no larger than 100 pixels high by 25 pixels wide," which doesn't make sense since the Wiley Interscience icon I just pulled off of the top right corner of an abstract displayed in AbstractPlus is 117 pixels wide and 35 pixels tall. I am not going quibble that the publisher's icon doesn't even match NLM's 100x25 rule (why even have a rule), but I am saying that I think perhaps you might want to double check with the LinkOut people regarding the sizing before you make an image really tall and narrow.

NLM will continue to display other icons near the PMID and will provide more information as it gets closer to March 2007 when changes will take place.
