In addition to links to note-taking files and images, you may want to have a link to other sources, such as a web page, or a file on your computer. You can add source links to either an on-line source (a web page) or to a local source (a file on your computer. You will then be able to open these links directly from the bibliographic record in Ibidem.
To add a source link to a record in your Ibidem database:
| 1 | Open the bibliographic database and select the record for which you want to add the image link. |
| 2 | Open the Links dialog in one of the following ways: |
| • | Click the Create New Link button (a multi-colored button on the Ibidem toolbar at the top of the screen). |
| • | Right-click in the Note Link field, then click New Link. |
| 3 | In the Links dialog, select Source Link(s). |
| 4 | Choose the file type from the drop down list (e.g. WEB or PDF or DOCX). |
| 5 | If you are adding a link to a web page, copy and paste the URL into the first box in this section. If you are adding a link to a file that is stored on your computer, click the browse button (three dots) and browse to the file that you want to select. |
If you have added a link to a web page, a green link to the on-line source (the web page) will be placed in the On-Line Links (@L) field for the Ibidem record. You can add as many on-line links as you want. If you have added a link to a file on your computer, a green link to that file will be placed in the Local Links (S>) field for the Ibidem record. You can add as many local links as you want.
