-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Susan Shumway Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2018 2:36 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: "Library Server" Access Now "Forbidden"? Along with the Softcopy Librarian option, we now also have repositories for the individual PDFs and BookManager files and will soon make available Adobe Indexed PDF Collections of the archived releases (thanks, Geoff Smith!!). Please see the updated IBM z/OS Internet Library Archive page for links to all of the information: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fservers%2Fresourcelink%2Fsvc00100.nsf%2Fpages%2Fzos-library-archives&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7C63ff7a7cb0a445e48a5408d603af91c7%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C636700449949520163&sdata=sJV%2FLZrkJZOs%2F9PDiQzIFWvctst7b1NUj659wy7Yn%2Fs%3D&reserved=0 Feedback request: Please let us know what you think of the viability of any of these methods, especially the Acrobat Indexed Collections (as soon as they're available), as long-term replacements of the served Library Server content. Library Server is no longer updated, so it makes sense to move to more current content retrieval methods if possible.
