Hi Folks,

I saw in the Chicago University Lens Opac (Aquabrowser interface instead Horizon Opac) that they put an URL to each Bibliographic record.

Something like this:

URL for this record: http://lens.lib.uchicago.edu/?itemid=|library/marc/uc|4848480<http://lens.lib.uchicago.edu/?itemid=%7Clibrary/marc/uc%7C4848480>

The 4848480 is the Bibliographic record number or system control number.

I think that they tray to offer a kind of PURL.

In Koha ILS when you add an ITEM the point “u” ask for an URI, could you tell me what is the idea with this functionality? An which is the structure of this uri?

In a new Horizon ILS version for adding an ITEM they ask for an URL of the item too. I have the same question.

Could you help me to understand these futures?

Thanks in advance

Georgie

Koha has something similar to these URLs, but that's hardly a unique feature. Specifically, any bib can be reached at http://your_opac.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=... where ... is the internal biblionumber of the record in question. The URL field is mainly, as far as I can tell, intended for digital resources, and would point to a PDF or some other form of the item. -- Jesse Weaver
