Following are instructions for customizing messages included with email of bookmarked selections.

Steps Example
1. Open /classes/ORG/oclc/obi/extverb in your text editor

Locate: StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer( );

StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
if (name != null && name.length() > 0)
s.append("Hello ");
if (name != null && name.length() > 0) {
s.append(name);
s.append(", ");
}
s.append("\n");
if (note != null && note.length() > 0) {
s.append(note);
s.append("\n");
}

s.append("Thanks for using WebZ. \n");
s.append("Here are the records you requested.\n\n");
s.append(message);
s.append("\nThis message was generated by BookMarkEmail.\n");

2. Edit text in the s.append methods

Substitute your institution's message

 s.append("University Systems");
  
3. Save file then recompile

NOTE: In order for the file to successfully compile, your CLASSPATH must be set correctly.

For more information about setting the CLASSPATH variable:
