 ATLA Serials (ATLAS) FAQs—Linking to ATLAS Journals

ATLAS Through Vendor

Please contact your aggregator for the appropriate link format.  The link format will be specific to your vendor platform.

ATLAS Through ATLA

It is possible to provide links directly to an ATLAS journal volume list (for example, from your library's OPAC) if you access ATLA's version of ATLAS via IP-address authentication. Following is a demonstration of how to construct a URL that will link to an ATLAS journal volume list, using the journal Arts as an example.

The following URL entered into in a browser's address field will link to the volume listing page for Arts, Volumes 1-12:

It is important that the root directory of the link entered be search.atlaonline.com. Bookmarks or links to the resolved address that do not begin with search.atlaonline.com may not work or take you to the appropriate page.

You can use the same link pattern to create URLs for other ATLAS journals by switching the ISSN for each title within the URL. Arts' ISSN is 1093-1643. Adding Arts' ISSN (the ISSN appears at the end of the URL) yields the following URL:

In order to link to another journal, for example, Asian Folklore Studies, you would need to put the ISSN for this title, 0385-2342, in the URL:

The ISSN and URL to the volume list for each ATLAS journal are listed in an Excel spreadsheet.

Additional information on how links pointing to specific pages or PDFs may be constructed is made available for use by Open URL providers and others in a Word document

For technical questions regarding this please contact support@atla.com (888.665.ATLA). For questions about journal coverage please contact ATLA Sales (888.665.ATLA).

Note: The URL pattern provided is meant to work as a link to the volume list for each ATLAS journal for quite some time; however, it is possible that the form of the URL may change in the future as ATLA improves the ATLAS application. Should such changes to the URL be a result of an ATLAS upgrade, ATLA will provide information about upcoming changes to ATLAS customers as soon as possible.
