Re: [CODE4LIB] SerSol 360Link API?
Hiya We're using it to add e-holdings into to our OPAC, e.g. http://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/396817/ I've also tried using the API to add the coverage info to the availability text for journals in Summon (e.g. Availability: print (1998-2005) electronic (2000-present)). I've made quite a few tweaks to our 360 Link (mostly using jQuery), so I'm half tempted to have a go using the API to develop a complete replacement for 360 Link. If anyone's already done that, I'd be keen to hear more. regards Dave Pattern University of Huddersfield From: Code for Libraries [code4...@listserv.nd.edu] On Behalf Of Jonathan Rochkind [rochk...@jhu.edu] Sent: 19 April 2010 03:50 To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] SerSol 360Link API?

Re: [CODE4LIB] SerSol 360Link API?
I wrote to-JSON proxy a while ago: http://libx.lib.vt.edu/services/link360/index.html I found the Link360 doesn't handle load very well. Even a small burst of requests leads to a spike in latency and error responses. I ask SS if this was a bug or part of some intentional throttling attempt, but never received a reply. Didn't pursue it further. http://libx.lib.vt.edu/services/link360/index.html - Godmar On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 2:42 AM, David Pattern d.c.patt...@hud.ac.ukwrote: Hiya We're using it to add e-holdings into to our OPAC, e.g. http://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/396817/ I've also tried using the API to add the coverage info to the availability text for journals in Summon (e.g. Availability: print (1998-2005) electronic (2000-present)).

Re: [CODE4LIB] SerSol 360Link API?
Hi all, Using 360 link api, our catalog shows availabilities (coverage ranges, database or provider names) of e-journals on the top-right of the screen. E.g., https://op.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/webopac/catdbl.do?bibid=SB00161282 Here some JavaScript code scrapes the title and issn from the catalog page after loaded, and calls the api asynchronously. All what I did for this was coding JavaScript (and Perl/CGI) scripts, and write script src=... tags on the page. -- HAYASHI, Yutaka Interlibrary Loan Section, Kyoto University Library On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 9:45 PM, Godmar Back god...@gmail.com wrote: I wrote to-JSON proxy a while ago: http://libx.lib.vt.edu/services/link360/index.html I found the Link360 doesn't handle load very well.

Re: [CODE4LIB] SerSol 360Link API?
Heh, what I _eventually_ want to do is develop a plugin for Umlaut to let it talk to SerSol 360Link -- so Umlaut could be your complete replacement for 360 Link, that comes with LOTS of extra features. Keep it in mind as an option if you start heading that way! [As you know, I use Horizon too, so Umlaut already has some nice Horizon hooks]. Thanks for the info Dave. Do you have anything to say about response time of the SerSol API?
