IPIG Profile Compliance for Interlibrary Loan Requests

SiteSearch 4.1.1 introduces a WebZ interlibrary loan (ILL) client that sends ILL requests that conform to the ILL Protocol Implementors Group (IPIG) profile. The IPIG Profile specifies a common set of decisions, options, and values agreed upon by IPIG members. The IPIG supports the North American Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (NAILDD) Project's standards technical priority. Compliance with the IPIG Profile will advance interoperability among systems claiming compliance, as these systems will implement the same optional choices and be developed using the same understandings of the international standard as documented in the IPIG Profile.

This enhanced ILL client allows you to configure WebZ to send patron-generated ILL requests to ILL services other than the OCLC ILL Direct Request Service if they conform to the IPIG. Interoperability testing with other ILL services is in progress.

For more information about the IPIG profile, see http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/ill/ipigprfl.htm.

Performance Enhancements

SiteSearch 4.1.1 improves performance in the following areas:

• More efficient entity substitution
• Faster loading of .ini files
• Memory pooling
• Reduced memory requirements for database configuration data
• Zclient record caching (the FETCH verb caches records to prevent extra Z39.50 transactions)

Ability to Change Format of ILL E-mail Message

SiteSearch 4.1.1 changes the buildMsg() and email() methods in ORG.oclc.webz.ILLEmail from private to protected. This allows you to extend these methods and change the format of the e-mail message sent in an ILL request sent to an e-mail address.

Ability to Order Fields Numerically When Formatting Records Using Z39.50 Formatting Classes

A new flag in ORG.oclc.fmts.MarcBuilder, orderNumerically, allows you to specify whether to order fields in a record numerically or to require the calling class to order the fields. The default value is to order the fields.

New Apache Version

For UNIX systems, SiteSearch 4.1.1 includes version 1.3.11 of the Apache Web server. SiteSearch 4.1.0 shipped with version 1.3.6 of Apache. However, SiteSearch 4.1.1 will function with any Apache 1.3.x version.

Newton Performance Enhancements

The Newton search engine shipped with SiteSearch 4.1.1 used to search local databases built with Database Builder has been modified to enhance its performance.

Save (Temporary) Database for Record Builder

The Record Builder application now includes a database (the Save database) for temporary storage of records from any database that are incomplete, in process, or ready for review. Staff who create records in any local database populated or maintained with Record Builder can save a new or newly edited record in the Save database at any time. Because these records are stored external to production databases, they do not appear in searches of target databases that patrons conduct with the WebZ interface.

Record Builder includes a new menu option, Open Saved, that allows staff to search for a record in the Save database and subsequently restore it to its target database. At this point, the staff member can submit the record to the target database, edit the record and then submit it to the target database, or edit the record and save the record in the Save database again. After submitting the record to the target database, the staff member then needs to delete the temporary record in the Save database.

It is also possible for one staff member to create a new record and store it in the Save database. Then another staff member, such as a supervisor, can review the new record, edit it if necessary, and submit it to the target database.

New Dublin Core Record Structure (DC2) and Database Template

SiteSearch 4.1.1 updates the database framework (record structure and database template) for the Dublin Core (DC) database to reflect version 1.1 of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. The Dublin Core is sufficiently flexible to represent resources (and relationships among resources) that exist in both digital and traditional formats.

In the Record Builder interface, the name of this new database framework is Dublin Core(2) to distinguish it from the original Dublin Core framework shipped with SiteSearch 4.1.0..

New Sample Databases

SiteSearch 4.1.1 replaces the ARCH (Archive) and ERES (Electronic Reserve) database frameworks provided with previous SiteSearch versions with two new sample databases built using the DC2 database framework. These databases demonstrate the versatility of this template for cataloguing a variety of electronic resources. The parks database contains maps and photographs from two U.S. national parks. The scores database contains scanned images of the front covers of several musical scores from the 1920's.
