Ross, Actually, SFX is probably not going to care what the title is. It's much more likely to care about the ISSN, volume and issue. Yes, true. But linking to full text is only partly the issue when it comes to using SFX in this way. I also want to ensure that those articles that we don't

Renata and others, After posting my original reply I realized how dumb it was to respond but say, sorry, can't tell you more. As an aside, this is one of the things that irritates me the most about working in a for profit environment: the control exerted by MPOW over just about anything. But

Renata, My library has done exactly this and we are in the second year of our implementation. We are using an enterprise search product and incorporating several disparate data repositories including a very large citation database, our library catalog, a fileshare, and some other things

Not sure if I'm understanding Eric's original scenario correctly but...This setup of needing to support SSH tunneling through to an Oracle database is exactly what we have setup in my library using SecureCRT ( http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/). I think this software is quite useful and

Eric, This is definitely not a feature of MARC but rather a feature of your local ILS (Aleph 500). Those are local fields for which you'd need to make a translation to a standard MARC field if you wanted to move that information to another system that is based on MARC. Steve On Wed, Jun 25,

Re: [CODE4LIB] alpha characters used for field names

2008-06-25 Thread Steve Oberg
Ok. What's allowable/possible vs. what is actually defined as part of variable MARC data fields in say MARC21. I'm amused by the hairsplitting. The bottom line is these particular fields are ALEPH specific and are not part of MARC21. I agree with others that accounting for these in whatever

I don't know if anyone else on this discussion list knows about or has ever used HubMed (www.hubmed.org), an alternate interface to PubMed. But if you have, did you know the site appears to be defunct now? If this is temporary, relief. If not, well, it'll be upsetting. This is a very handy and
