Anthro Fixes
From RF:
Cannot get Anthrosource, Anthropological Literature, and Abstracts in Anthropology to work with metalib. The last resource may not be metalib enabled.
http://dl.lib.brown.edu/gateway/lrg.php?id=4&task=db
These databases were switched from a local to the Ex Libris config. Links to categories were changed in the ML Categories Admin and in the metalib, metalib2programs, and metalib_dbs2cats tables.
– Anthropological Literature (BRN02616 -> BRN04401)
Full Text Icon on Result Screens
Tried once again to get the “full text icon” to show on ML result screens to no avail.
Followed instructions in User Interface Guide 4.1.X
15.7.3 “Full Text Button in Full/Table/Brief Views of Record”
Instructions:
To implement this option in the Full, Table, and Brief views:
1 Change the following setting in the ./metalib_conf/www_server.conf file:
setenv check_full_text_avail N
to:
setenv check_full_text_avail ALL
2 Exit and save the changes to the file.
3 Enter the following command to restart the Web servers;
start_w
The FTEXT field, with subfield $$a, appears both in the original and in the converted record display.
A Y or N in this field indicates whether full text is available for the particular record.
There is no FTEXT field in the record.
We should investigate enabling peer review buttons – User Interface Guide 4.3, page 110
