What is a Resource?
A Resource in the Lean Library Futures dashboard is very similar to an E-Resource domain. They are locations where the tools can be configured later. However, the additional functionality of a Resource is that you can add access links to any Resource which makes it a group of URLs connected to one Resource.
Why is it useful to add access links to a Resource?
With access links, you are able to add multiple, corresponding locations, where it might make sense. As a real-life example, you might want to add a Resource for Google scholar and provide https://scholar.google.com/ and https://scholar.google.nl/ as access points (mind the .com and .nl differences). Other examples might be, where a website has multiple URLs to access, but there are addressing the same content.
How do I set up a Resource?
Please follow the below steps to set up a Resource in your dashboard.
- Open a "New Resource" tab to add an Resource
2. Fill in the Resource Name and add any access links if applicable.
If there are no access links to the Resource you are adding, please add the same URL (i.e. same as the resource) to the access link tab and press Save.
