There are a couple of LibX cues that currently seem to be broken: - google.ca - powells.com More importantly, I'm now having an issue with ISSN searching via the context menu and autolinks using my bookmarklet catalog, which has the following URL template: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Search/Home?lookfor=%term1&type=%SWITCH{%type1}{ Y:all}{t:title}{a:author}{d:subject}{i:isn}{c:callnumber}{hlb:hlb}{jt:title& filter=format%3AJournal} When I do an ISBN search via an autolink or the context menu, the URL is constructed correctly and the search works as expected. However, ISSN searches via autolinks or the context menu fail to add the type parameter, so I get something like the following (incorrect) URL: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Search/Home?lookfor=0164-0925&type= Since the edition builder only presents a single option for ISBN/ISSN, I'm confused about why ISSN searches should perform differently from ISBNs when searching via the context menu or autolinks. Toolbar searches work fine for both ISBNs and ISSNs.

I understand that is it difficult to test proxies, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. We're using LibX Version 1.5.1: http://libx.org/editions/download.php?edition=9EF3A01F When our users attempt to access items using LibX through Google Scholar that require authentication, the proxy authentication window does not pop up. The user is simply locked out of the resource. I added our proxy string in the proxy access tab, added the %S in the appropriate spot. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, if it's a LibX issue or if it's a problem with our EZProxy configuration (which is handled by someone else and he's on vacation at the moment).

However, there will be a noticable delay when the runtime components of the framework are loaded for the first time, which happens, for instance, when you open the first IE window. .Net also uses more resources, which will limit how many applications you can run; this should however only be an issue on computers more than 3-4 years old. - Godmar On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Candace Vance wrote: > I couldn't get LibX to work until I downloaded .Net.

Yes, that's correct. LibX autodetects if it's an ISSN or ISBN, then applies the code 'is' and 'i', respectively. - Godmar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If so, follow the instructions under http://libx.org/IEStatus.html is your problem that LibX/IE is not as customizable? If so, describe what customizations you have in mind. As a general comment, let me point out that LibX/IE is a more different beast than LibX. It's vastly more complex, technologically, and lives in a much more heterogenous environment: users running IE6, 7, or 8, users runnings Windows XP, Vista, and within those systems, with a multitude of modes and other programs installed. It does not work for all users, and, realistically, I don't see us getting to that point. That said, the most common cause of being unable to install LibX/IE are a) not having .Net 2.0 installed (check your windows update) b) not using an Administrator account. - Godmar On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 4:51 PM, Emily Paladino wrote: > It is so easy to configure and install for Firefox, but I seem to be missing something when it comes to correctly installing LibX for Internet Explorer. I am currently using IE 8, but it didn't work for me when I was using the previous version of IE either; the toolbar just does not seem that customizable as it is with Firefox.

In most cases, this is a server provided by the institution to which the maintainer belongs. Examples include SFX or Serials Solutions Journal Title service. LibX does not select results, it simply leads the user to that service. If the service shows journals to which you don't have access, contact a person who may be able to update the coverage/holdings database. Judging by your signature, that person may be you. - Godmar On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 11:54 AM, Xu, Qinghua wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I am wondering why journals we have no access would come up in the result > list?

LibX may apply this code automatically, but in a bookmarklet catalog it won't be handled correctly when constructing the URL unless the maintainer handles each option explicitly in the URL template. Since this feature is undocumented (AFAIK) and there is no way to differentiate between ISSN and ISBN in the edition builder, anyone trying to set up a bookmarklet as their primary LibX catalog is likely to run into trouble with ISSN/ISBN searches. With more libraries moving to alternative interfaces like Vufind and Blacklight that aren't supported as catalog types in LibX and must be set up as a bookmarklet, I can see how this might cause maintainers a lot of grief in the future.
