SFX and MetaLib: Sources

Sources with SFX Buttons

Sources are the places (mostly databases) where the SFX link/button will appear. Some vendors allow our customized SFX button, some allow only the generic SFX button, and some vendors allow text links. Clicking on these links/buttons will bring up the SFX menu in a new window.

MIT-customized SFX button: mit customized sfx button

MIT custom text link: Get this article

Generic SFX button: SFX logo

 

Vendors will usually require the following information:

Base URL: http://owens.mit.edu/sfx_local

Button image location (MIT button): https://lgimages.s3.amazonaws.com/data/imagemanager/40766/sfx-mit.gif

Button image location (SFX logo): https://lgimages.s3.amazonaws.com/data/imagemanager/40766/sfxlogo.gif
