 Links to The Catalog
To review, here is a guide to the Catalog links as they exist now.
The Catalog link is: href="catalog.einetwork.net/search/"
(href="catalog.einetwork.net/" will work also, then redirects to the search page)
When a connection is made to the Catalog from within a Library, the default search Scope is set to that Library's collection. The default search Scope is set to "All Libraries" for anyone outside the library network. If you need to start the Catalog search with a different Scope, add ~S and the scope number.
For example: href="catalog.einetwork.net/search~S1/" will set the starting search Scope to 1, which is the scope for "All Libraries." The Catalog link located on a kids page may be set to your library's Juvenile collection, or could be set to "All Juvenile" with scope ~S2.
See the table listing the available scopes for our system.
My Account link is: href="iiisy1.einetwork.net:2620/patroninfo/"
If you have a book list with links:
New links can be created that will search for the bib record
number, and display particular items.
A link would be similar to: href="http://catalog.einetwork.net/search~S1/,?SEARCH=b2115874"
(This link will do the same thing, but in a longer form:
href="http://catalog.einetwork.net/search/,?SEARCH=b2115874&searchscope=1")
| where: |
,?SEARCH= |
will use the bib record number search |
| |
~S1 |
gives you a search scope for All Libraries, to override a user's default scope |
| |
searchscope=1 |
same as ~S1 |
| |
b2115874 |
is the bib record number with the b and 7 numbers (drop the last check digit) |
The bib record number for an item can be obtained in a Millennium search, or in a Web search if you have a Staff library card.
New links can also be created for author, title, subject,
etc.
A link for an author search would be in this form:
href="http://catalog.einetwork.net/search~S1/aclancy+tom"
A link for a title search would be in the form:
href="http://catalog.einetwork.net/search~S1/tgreen+eggs+and+ham"
| where: |
+ |
is used instead of spaces |
| |
and the letters used for different searches are: |
| |
a |
author |
| |
c |
LC call number |
| |
d |

| |
e |
