For anyone who may be interested, I was able to make a link in our TPAC
catalog to Novelist by adding the following link in awards.tt2:
<a
href="http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,cookie,cpid&custid=CUSTID&site=novelist-live&scope=site&direct=true&bquery=IB+[%
attrs.isbn_clean | html %]">Connect to title in Novelist.</a>
We don't have it on our production server yet, but it is working on our
demo server at http://sunbury-training.cool-cat.org. I need to adjust
the URL to go through the proxy, then we'll move it to the production
server.
It isn't the most glamorous approach, but it does allow us to connect
users with information in Novelist, using our basic Novelist subscription.
Enjoy.

We are using Evergreen 2.3. We have a basic subscription to
Novelist. I would like to create a link from a record to Novelist
based on the ISBN or author/title of a book. Ebscohost has posted
information on how to create links to Novelist at
http://support.ebscohost.com/__knowledge_base/detail.php?id=__1148
<http://support.ebscohost.com/knowledge_base/detail.php?id=1148> .
I would like to know if anyone in the community has linked to
Novelist like this? If so, what variables are used for ISBN or
author/title from Evergreen that go into the link? In other words,
if the link to Novelist is
http://search.ebscohost.com/__login.aspx?authtype=ip,cookie,__cpid&custid=CUSTID&site=__novelist-live&scope=site&__direct=true&bquery=[$ISBN]
<http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,cookie,cpid&custid=CUSTID&site=novelist-live&scope=site&direct=true&bquery=[$ISBN]>,
what is the variable used for the ISBN in Evergreen that could be
inserted into $ISBN?
Thanks for any information.
