Before your users can search your ILL partner libraries, you must set up Information Portal to connect to RSS. You do this by identifying the unique ILL code and the URL for the ILL server.
Before You Begin
You need to find out this information for the ILL server that Information Portal will connect to:
• | ILL Server URL. This URL must include the IP address of your ILL server and the home library code that identifies the ILL server. The URL should be in this format: |
http://IP address/cgi-bin/RSSpwsmain.pl?HomeLib=server code
For example, if your IP address is “210.10.34.10”and your server code is “emms” for Emmerson County Library, you might have this ILL server URL:
http://210.10.34.10/cgi-bin/RSSpwsmain.pl?HomeLib=emms

(For example, enter http://123.456.789.11/cgi-bin/RSSpwsmain.pl?HomeLib = mas.) Important: This URL must include the server code that identifies the ILL system you want Information Portal to use.

Important: If you delete the code and URL that you have specified for the default home library, make sure that you set up another one and specify it as the default home library for Information Portal to use. |
