As you use the Library’s databases, for example in SearchPlus,
you will notice a red and white icon on your search results.
This is the LinkSeeker icon, and clicking on it will open a window
with an array of links connecting you to full-text electronic content
and other options that can enhance your original search.
What will LinkSeeker do for you?
- tell you if the full-text is available
- connect you to an order process if the full-text is not available,
such as requesting a copy of an article
- run a citation search on the paper or authors
- locate other articles by the author (via FlashPoint)
- find the author’s e-mail address
- do a web search -- with your choice of search engine
- do a search in other libraries to find additional source materials
(Library of Congress, MELVYL/University of California, or the
Library catalog)
- do a search in DOE’s InfoBridge for full-text reports
- get help from reference librarians
What databases have LinkSeeker icons?
These databases located at the Library:
These databases outside the Library (the LinkSeeker icon may look
different):
Note: Prior to April 18, 2002 the Library-located databases showed
both the LinkSeeker icon and, for some citations, a PDF (or HTML)
icon. The PDF icons were removed, because they were based on old
technology which involved significant time lags in linking new content
and could not link to all electronic journals.
LinkSeeker was developed by the
LANL Library Without Walls and Research Library.
