Need Information
by JK 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

Dear All, We have developed a global search software of e-resources/e- contents. We have observed many problems on the user's side such as when the URL of a particular e-resource gets changed (usually from the publishers side) then users are not able to access and view the e-resources. To prevent this problem, somebody has advised us to create our own link server. Therefore, could anybody help me as to how we can create our own Open URL.. Your earliest reply will be appreciated. *Regards* *Jaya Kalra* *Senior Consultant - LIS Group* *Total IT Solutions Pvt.

NewGenLib demo now on a public IP
by L J Haravu 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Dear Forum professionals I am happy to let you know that it is now possible for anyone to use open source NewGenLib via the server-side installation on one of our public IP machines. Please follow the steps given below. With this, you can use all the functionality as though the software is installed for you. However, the data added will be stored only temporarily and may be deleted. Please note that although this is a full fledged application, it is only to demonstrate to professionals and to help then get a first hand feel of the software. 1. Install J2RE1.4.2 on one or more client machines from the Sun Microsystems web site. This is the run time version of Java and needs to be installed on all clients that plan to access NewGenLib functionality. 2. Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2 on your client machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL, http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication 3. You will soon see a JAVA Starting window and the very first time that you launch the NewGenLib client, it will download the application from our server to your machine. This may take time and depends on the bandwidth you have. From the second and subsequent times, the applet is loaded from your client unless there has been an update of the server side software. 4. You will soon see a dialog where you need to enter the IP address of the server. This is 121.246.154.208. The port by default shown is 8080. You need not change this. Click OK in this dialog. 5. Next you will see the Login screen of NewGenLib. Enter xyz as the User_id and abc as the password. This user does not have all the System Administrator permissions. 6. Soon you will see the main menu of the NewGenLib applet with the functional modules on top. Click any of the main menu options to see the different functions possible within the module 7. To see the OPAC of the installation, open your Internet browser and enter 8. http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt and you will soon see the opening page of the OPAC with search and other options I would be happy to answer any questions but better still would be for professionals to go the discussion forum on Sourceforge.net, http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=210780 and create an account and post your problems, suggestions. Best regards. Haravu -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
