    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).
