The difference in link text is due to the fact that these links are coming from different places.
For further context, the results page (local catalogs only) display spec for 856 fields in VuFind 0.6 was:
If the Bibliographic 856 field has the text “table of contents” in any subfield, it is not included on the VuFind Results page regardless of indicators.
The presence of the Bibliographic 856 field does not suppress the display of the call number.
If the SFX button will display (because the ISSN in the 022$a of the Bibliographic record matches the ISSN of an active object in the library’s SFX KnowledgeBase), the Results page will not display a “Get it online” link even if a Bibliographic 856 field(s) is present.
Future development: if the SFX (or other link resolver) button OR the “Get it online” link displays, the red “Not available” status will be suppressed even if the Item is unavailable.
What research is needed? SFX committee might help.
IWU- RT 99180 It looks like a link displays on the results list if there is a url in the 856 field on the Bib record. If the url is in the MFHD, then you do not see the link unless you click on the full record.
We have quite a few bad links in our bib records which we need to cleanup. Most of these are links to book images, tables of contents, and links to resources which do not include our proxy string. So, is it possible to mass delete all of the 856 links in our bib records? If so, is it also possible to then copy all of our 856 links from the MFHD to the Bib record so that they will display on the results list?
Is there any plan to change what link displays on the results list from the Bib to the MFHD?

In TEST.
Problem Report 1: I am finding some inconsistencies in behavior with the SFX button vs. Bib 856 fields on TEST. My initial search is showing search results in which the SFX button displays and the bib 856s are suppressed. This is good and expected behavior because the SFX button should take precedence over 856s.
However, when I click into a record to view it, then click the Back button in my browser to get back to the results list, I see both the SFX button and bib 856 links for the same record like this:
If I reload the results page with my browser reload button, the Bib 856 links go away and I only see the SFX button (correctly) just like in the first image!
Replication steps:
Problem Report 2: When a Bib 856 link does display in the Results list (based on the spec above from 7/20), the text should read "Get it online" (instead of "Get full text")
@gibsonjc , I believe I have addressed Problem Reports 1 & 2 in TEST.
Looks good to me. Consistent text now. Denise

MIL - Things we view as obstacles to adopting VF3--eBooks- mixed language for connecting to eBooks is confusing. Example: keyword searched for “nutrition” and there are many results marked “Book” “Electronic.”
To connect to some (CARLI eBooks like “Nutrition for Dummies) it has a link on the results screen that says “Connect to eBook.”
To connect to an Ebsco eBook, “Hypertension and nutrition,” the link is “Get full text.”
For Springer eBooks, such as “Nutrition and Metabolism,” the link says “Available Online to Millikin Users: Click Here.”
Can’t this be standardized? In the current catalog, the language is “get it online” for any e-item, whether Springer, Ebsco, GPO, etc.
