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.
- 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.
- Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2
on your client machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL, MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious: http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- To see the OPAC of the installation, open your
Internet browser and enter
- MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious: 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.
