There are several ways you can use to direct requestors to PLSclear from your website.
1. PLSclear Quick Links
PLSclear Quick Links direct users straight to the PLSclear permissions form to make a request for a specific title. These links can be embedded directly onto a book page on your website, making seeking permission simple and seamless for requestors.
Links can be individual hyperlinks, such as 9781789902983, or you can embed a small button:
We also have instructions on how to create individual hyperlinks, as well as implementing Quick Links sitewide.
2. PLSclear Search Widget
The PLSclear Search widget allows you to embed the PLSclear search bar directly onto a webpage. Requestors can search for any title using the search bar and be directed straight into PLSclear search results.
A good place for the search widget is on an easy-to-find Contact us page or a dedicated Rights and Permissions page. The widget is a simple piece of HTML that can be pasted onto any webpage.
The code for the widget along with some sample accompanying text can be found is on this site.
3. Directly link to PLSclear.com
If you don't want to implement Quick Links or the Search Widget, you can simply link to PLSclear.com from your permissions page.
