Rename File and Export Record
By convention, these files are renamed to match their bib record number. E.g., the ebook with the bib record number b48941499 would be saved as 48941499.pdf. The files are saved in Library16 > inetsupport > eresources > ebook.
Search OCLC for a matching ebook record. In the 856 field, the URL prefix will be http://libraries.maine.edu/gateway/oroauth.asp?file=ebook/ followed by the name of the pdf file. For example, the URL for file 48941499.pdf would be http://libraries.maine.edu/gateway/oroauth.asp?file=ebook/48941499.pdf. Add a subfield z to the URL which reads UM Orono Access
Export the OCLC record to overlay the URSUS order bib record and test the link to ensure that the file will download correctly.
