Assigning a federated search target to a profile

You can make a federated search target available to one or more search profiles. When you assign a search target to a profile that makes that search target available from within that search profile so that patrons can use it to search. For example, if you assigned a search target named “ebsco” to a search profile named “main,” patrons could search for items through your EBSCO subscription when they access the “main” search profile.

Federated search targets, including Academic Reserves targets, are not available in the Advanced Search page to limit searching.

To assign a federated search target to a profile

Choose Federated Search Sources from the navigation pane.

Choose the Assign Target to Profiles option next to the search source that you want to configure.

Choose the profiles that you want to assign to the federated search target. (For details, see Fields: Assign Target to Profiles .)

Choose OK to save your changes, or choose Cancel to discard your changes and return to Federated Search Sources.
