Hide the "Check for local electronic subscriptions" link

Want to hide the "Check for local electronic subscriptions" link? The 'Check for local electronic subscriptions' link will only result in a working full-text article link if City have a subscription to the journal for the relevant year. If you are linking to an article that is not available via subscription - maybe  it's a free, open access article - the 'Check for local electronic subscriptions' link will not work.

 

To hide the "Check for local electronic subscriptions link", change the 'Resource Type' to something other than 'Article' e.g. change Resource Type to 'Document'.
