Linksource Resolver Wording

[Sherry Youssef]

Good Morning!

I am a member of my institution library's Web Advisory Committee and we are
in the discussion of changing the wording of our Linksource link.  We
currently use "Check Linksource for possible full text from other sources."
 Through many instruction sessions and individual research consultations, we
have discovered that students are intimidated by this wording, and often
assume that the full text of the article is not available.  After conducting
a quick review of other libraries, we noticed that some use 'FindIt at ...";
'Find It!'; 'Search for full text;' or 'Citation Online.'

What wording does your institution use for your Link Resolver?  What have
you found to work best for your students?

Thank you in advance for your input!

Best Regards,
