Use of local_base in the URL syntax when working with PDS
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Description:
How should the local base (library name) be added to the Aleph OPAC URL?
Resolution:
The URL syntax of directing the web OPAC to open for a local base should include the name of the base in uppercase letters:
For example
http://aleph.library.edu/F?func=find-b-0&local_base=LAW
instead of:
http://aleph.library.edu/F?func=find-b-0&local_base=law
This is true when working with PDS (e.g. PDS-AWARE=Y).
