Yes. Change the base URL that enables “deep” links to individual local catalog records listed in the Services > Online Catalog section of your WorldCat Registry institutional profile. Information entered there is utilized by both the WorldCat.org and FirstSearch interfaces. (The Services section of your Registry profile also lets you enter or update other links used in WorldCat.org results, such as your IP address or address range, “Ask a Librarian” virtual reference service, OpenURL resolver for full text access, and general Web information page listing hours, location, etc.) Changes made to your library’s OPAC and service links in the WorldCat Registry should be active within 24 hours.
