We use the Java package prefix of 'lims', which is the Library Information Management System for the USM Libraries, for any of our locally created classes. When customizing 'ORG.oclc' classes, we use the following preferred order:

  1. Create a 'lims' class that extends the 'ORG.oclc' class, eg:
         lims.obi.resultsscreen extends ORG.oclc.obi.resultsscreen

  2. Create a 'lims' copy of the 'ORG.oclc' class, eg:
         lims.obi.Authorize is a modified copy of ORG.oclc.obi.Authorize

  3. Modify the 'ORG.oclc' class itself, eg:
         We use a modified copy of ORG.oclc.fmts.WebZFormatter
