Re: Create an HTML Journals list

["Yuan YAO" <YAOY@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use the Perl script I wrote to do the job.

Please visit this site for introduction and instructions on this script:

http://www.nellco.org/pub/acq.htm#top

With minor modifications, you may use this script to organize your list by subject, author, title, call number, fund, locations, etc., and link the title in the list to your WebPac by bib record number, call number, OCLC number, or by title, if you prefer.

You may want to look at our Web list which is arranged by LCSH at:

We currently use the featured list function to create a review file of all
journal titles which a user can look at and click on the title to get the
record for that title.  The jump to box in featured list will allow the user
to enter a title, but because the featured lists are not indexed, it takes
forever to move from one record to the next.  Innovative looked at the
problem and said there is no alternative and featured lists was never meant
to be indexed, so I'm appealing to the user community.

First, can anyone come up with a process or small application that can take
a delimited file containing all titles and output an html list with the
title search code wrapped around it.

For instance:

Here is what the list looks like to begin with:

"Journal of whatever"
"Journal of this and that"
"Journal of his and hers (microfilm edition) version 2"

This is what the URL has to look like:

<A
HREF="http://nih-library.nih.gov/search/t?SEARCH=Journal+of+whatever">Journa
l of whatever</A>
<A
HREF="http://nih-library.nih.gov/search/t?SEARCH=Journal+of+this+and+that">J
ournal of this and that</A>
<A
HREF="http://nih-library.nih.gov/search/t?SEARCH=Journal+of+his+and+hers+(mi 
crofilm+edition)+version+2">Journal of his and hers (microfilm edition)
version 2</A>

It seems simple, but because some of the titles are very long, I can't
create a WordPerfect or Word macro to handle it.

Ideally, a program would ask for the server's address (i.e.
nih-library.nih.gov) and then wrap the code around the title.  The trick is
to duplicate the title with + signs where the spaces are without that
affecting the original text that will appear to the user on the completed
html page.

Any takers?
