Instructions for New Materials List

This program will take a particular kind of review file from an Innovative system and generate an HTML file This script requires the use of either "User Defined Output" in text or "Export" in Millennium.

It is important to use ^ as the delimiter and ~ as the repeat delimiter.

1. Create the list using the Create Lists function

2. Use the U > Output USER-selected format in text or Export in Millennium

3. Choose the following fields:
   • Record # (this provides the link to the record in the catalog)
   • c -- call number
   • a -- author
   • !245 -- title (use instead of title to limit to one title)
   • p -- imprint
   • d -- subject
   • !856 -- url

4. You will need to configure the script to create links for your catalog. This is pretty easy--all you need to do is save the scripts on your pc and edit the line in the section which looks like:

       "< a href=\"http://lis.wwu.edu/record=$rnum\">$cnum"

   Change the url (http://lis.wwu.edu) to the url for your own catalog. Be sure to leave the record=$rnum\ the same.

5. You will also need to adjust what appears at the top and bottom of the HTML file that is generated by adding HTML code to the INSERT HEADER and INSERT FOOTER sections.
