A provider for LinkOut is any organization that provides LinkOut with links to full text
Providers for LinkOut: publishers,
aggregators, publisher agents

Publisher agent
The producer and host of the online version of journals (i.e., Highwire)
Do not manage library subscriptions

article links for an issue Gaps exist within the listed date range for a
journal

Because LinkOut has not received the Provider links for every individual article published in that journal for 1998
