Ex Libris (Multisearch vendors) have added the option to ezproxy all the DOI links in the preview section of the search results.  This is turned on for us in Multisearch so off-campus users will be able to click on the DOI links in the preview pane and not hit a paywall.   If the main full text online link isn’t working the DOI links are another option to try.

This also gives lecturers another option for linking to articles in LEARN – they can just copy the DOI link from Multisearch preview pane  (right click on the link in their browser and select “copy link”) – no need to put the link through the link maker.

NB: there could be situations where there’s a DOI in the preview pane for a resource we don’t ezproxy e.g. open access or a resource we manage through username/password or single sign on.  In this case users might get our add host error screen.
