  • Library Locations: You can either choose individual locations, or select “Five Colleges Catalog” (FOLIO records) or UMass Amherst Online Resources (eResource catalog records). Choosing “All” at the top will perform the same search as the limiter mentioned above.

Search Results Screen - Post-Search Limiting

On a list of results, you can use multiple limiters to narrow your search down to just catalog records.

...

Please Also Note: Not all limiters in EDS will persist in a permalink. Anything you enter into the search boxes will persist, including if you use multiple boxes. The only limiters which stick appear in the “Limit” to section, not of the other sections in the EDS breadbox will stick in a permalink to a search.

If you would like to include locations in a search permalink, in a separate search box use the field code LB and the text of the location from the limiter wrapped in quotation marks. Example: LB "UMass Du Bois Library."

Advanced Record permalinks can be generated using the “Permalink” button at the right side of the screen.
