Engineering Village provides access to full text in two ways:
Local holdings linksopens in new tab/window - Libraries can provide Engineering Village with graphics and/or links that appear where a search result item resides in their online public access catalog or other library intranet pages. If your institution's library participates in this service, a link or graphic will appear in the search result item and be near the top of the record page.
Linking to your own library's local holdings is done through an OpenURL compliant link resolver, such as ExLibris SFX®.
- Full textopens in new tab/window - Engineering Village search results and the record page sometimes contain the ‘Full text’ button when the full text of a search result item is available. Clicking this ‘Full text’ button takes you to the full-text version of the item on the publisher's website. This feature is typically turned off for Engineering Village users because it takes you away from your institution's website when the item might be available locally.
The default setting for the AutoSuggestopens in new tab/window feature is enabled. From the Document results list after running a Quick search query, you may turn off this feature in the following ways:
- Click ‘Turn off AutoSuggest’ below the search box(es) to turn off this feature for this session only.
- Click ‘Turn off’ below the dropdown list of terms to turn off this feature for this session only.
- Set a default to turn off this feature on the Search tab of the ‘My preferences’ page for all future sessions by ensuring that the ‘AutoSuggest default off’ checkbox has been selected.
