External Link (856) Label
In Full Record View, the link to full text or to catalog holding info was originally labelled “External Link”. We changed this to “Full Text/Record” but weren’t entirely satisfied with the result. WIth the ability to suppress the sfx button for resources that systematically have this 856 link, it seems sensible to label the link “FIND IT!” since it’s a subsitute for the “find it!” button. The change was made in this table:
/exlibris/metalib/m3_1/ins01/tab/edit_doc_999.eng

ARTstor Configured for MetaLib
The MetaLib config for ARTstor became available in the Feb 06 update. These instructions were added to the db description:
To use ARTstor you will need:
– Sun Java version 1.3 or above
– Flash Player version 6 or above
– Pop-up blocking software disabled
– Cookies enabled
– 1024 x 768 screen resolution (recommended)
– Screen color set to True Color (32 bit)
I had trouble getting it to work with Firefox and discovered it was a problem with my QuickTime settings. I found this solution by googling:
* Close Firefox
* Open the QuickTime Control Panel
* Select the “Browser” tab, and open “MIME Settings”
* Make sure Flash File is not selected (it is under Miscellaneous).
Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China
This ebook collection has been added to MetaLib, but I don’t think it is configurable because it is all in Chinese. Alternate name is:
Gujin Tushu Jicheng
