    Journal Title Search URL for Serials Solutions

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    We need to send the URL prefix for Journal Title Begin With search to Serials Solutions. We are wondering if the following prefix is correct:

    http://libsvr.univ.edu:8991/F/?func=find-b-0&local_base=Journals&request=

    Resolution:
    The URL that you sent, http://libsvr.univ.edu:8991/F/?func=find-b-0&local_base=Journals&request= looks like it gets you to the screen from which you can perform a Journal search, but it does not itself perform one.

    If you want Serials Solutions to do a search that would be the same as your "Title begins with... (drop initial article)" search as performed from the "Journals - Basic Search" screen, I believe the URL should look more like this:

    http://libsvr.univ.edu:8991/F?func=find-e&find_scan_code=SCAN_TIT&request=

    If you want them to perform a search like the one that a user would do from the "Journals - Advanced Search" screen, choosing the "Title" search for "BROWSE an alphabetical list", "Browse for Title" search, the URL would look like this:

    http://libsvr.univ.edu:8991/F?func=scan&scan_code=TIT&scan_start=

    In either case, they would need to add search terms to the search separated by plus signs, as below:

    http://libsvr.univ.edu:8991/F?func=find-e&find_scan_code=SCAN_TIT&request=perspectives+on+science
