ILL ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 6. THE PARTICIPANT RECORD
Linking to Participant Information
ILL Policies created from within SHAREit (using the Participant Record function) can be accessed from outside of the system. You can use this feature to create a link from your library’s Home Page, ILL Help page, or other Web location to display Participant Information and ILL Policies for any library within your consortium.
NOTE: Only that information that has been configured for “patron display” in the associated Participant Record will be shown when Participant Information is accessed from outside of the system.
To create a link to Participant Information:
Add an “anchor” <a> tag on the desired Web page for each library for which you wish to make Participant Information available. The format and content of the tag is as follows:
<a target=TargetName href=”
AGentBaseURL/agent/ShowILLPartIDB.asp?lid=LibCode&cid=CustCode”>
Link Text</a>
Where:
- target=TargetName opens an additional browser window in which the associated Participant Information will be displayed. You may use any name as the TargetName (do not include spaces in the TargetName).
- AGentBaseURL is the base URL for your SHAREit system
- LibCode is the library code assigned by Auto-Graphics for the associated library
- CustCode is the customer code assigned by Auto-Graphics for your consortium
- Link Text is the text you wish to be used as the hyperlink to the associated Participant Information (such as the name of the associated library)
