Louise,
This reminds me that the consensus that I got here about preferred wording
was that we should switch to 'view this journal online, via Science Direct,
on and off campus'.

Subject: wording for links to electronic resources
Dear all,
Summary as promised some time ago of how institutions word their links to
electronic resources from catalogue or web page:
Responses received from 26 institutions.
Three use 'click here' or a variation of this
Five mention 'available electronically' or 'also available on the intranet'
or some variation
Seven use the terms 'connect to', 'go to', or 'view'
One says 'follow this link'
The remainder are various types including icons and visible URLs, 'web
access' statements.
Many state the provider or type of resource, some indicate accessibility
(on- or off-campus).
Therefore I think we can establish this is yet another area without
consensus within the field!
Thanks to those of you who contacted me about this issue.
Louise
