Google Scholar’s integration is performed by your link resolver vendor. Here are instructions on how to update this in many popular systems. Because Google Scholar refreshes itself only periodically, please allow 7-10 days for changes you make to be reflected in Google Scholar.

You will need your Third Iron Library ID and your LibKey OpenURL, which uses the following format:

https://libkey.io/libraries/{LibraryID}/openurl

Additionally, please note that with any of the instructions below you are ONLY updating the linking mechanism from your current link resolver to LibKey Link. The holdings data will continue to be published from your Link Resolver knowledge base to Google Scholar which is what determines for what articles links will appear.

Per these linked instructions, this is handled via a Publishing Profile. A configurable element in this process is the “OpenURL base” which is where your LibKey Link will be placed.
