Hi Folks Regrettably, bookshelves were rarely, if ever, available outside the collection kits for individual download from the IBM Publications Center, and with good reason. Softcopy Librarian (SCL) requires a set of files, called descriptor files, that are created as a by-product of the now defunct softcopy kit manufacturing process. That’s why you cannot define the Library Server site as a source repository in SCL. If you open SCL and click on the “Internet” repository, you’ll see a list of available softcopy kits.
BookManager technology was very precise. The shelves required that the book timestamps exactly match the shelf metadata. This scheme was used to help ensure the currency of content for users who chose to manage their own local repositories. The “z/OS Software Products Collection” shelves in SCL should contain all the content you need. However, if there are product shelves and books that you still need, let me know what they are. I will see what I can do. For information about Library Server, see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bks/bks.htm .
