We are using SilverLinker with SilverPlatter databases . It is a very useful tool, specially new versions WebSpirs (4.2) and ERL (4.11). These versions includes a SilverLinker module that allow you to choose what providers and e-journals you want to appear on the screen (those you have a suscription with). Therefore only lively full text options will be shown in each SilverPlatter database.
SilverLinker installation is easy and weekly updates from Quikdata solution are available.
