Adding a library to LibAgent
Home > Add a library
If a library you're registered to does not appear in the fill-in
forms of LibAgent, we can help you by supporting it. This stage
requires some work on our side, and some helpful hints given by
you. It may take us some time to support a new library, but we
promise to do it as soon as we can.
Note: We're talking about adding a library that is not
yet supported to LibAgent. If you've registered to one
library, and you would like to "add" a library to your account,
read this.
We assume this is an
ALEPH
library you're talking about. ALEPH libraries are all on-line and
have similar, though not identical, interfaces. What we need from
you is the ALEPH library code. This is a three-letter code such as
"TEC", "JMS", or "HAI". If you have the code, you can switch to the
main page of your library from the main page of any other library
with the "LB" command. For instance, typing "LB TEC" will get you
to the Technion central library even if you do it from an ALEPH
terminal in a library in Jerusalem. Of course, it will also work
from your workstation if you
telnet to ALEPH
, so there's no need to go all the way to your library just for
that. If you don't know your library code (and you probably don't),
try typing just "LB", then enter. Scan the menus until you find
your library.
We'll also need your user ID. It will help if you give us ID's of
other users in that library, so we can test the functionality. At
least one user should have books in his or her account, and at
least one user should have a book (or books) ordered. Without
these, we can't verify our program works OK.
We will be in contact you in the testing phase, until the library
is fully supported. During this phase will use input from you, so
we need your e-mail address, unless it's included in your
request.
It's now time to mail us
and ask for the installation of your library. Don't forget these
crucial details:
Good luck!
