RE: Change in Webpac Title links after 2002A upgrade?

["Abbott, Bruce" <babbot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've gotten a couple of requests for the manual citation--

It is # 102166 --the section 'search/x'

 

For example, in our catalog, a title search is built as http://innopac.lsuhsc.edu/search/tannals of internal medicine

 

These searches, when run, add the the space symbol in URL's: %20 to replace the spaces, i.e.

http://innopac.lsuhsc.edu/search/tannals%20of%20internal%20medicine

 

Or if you wish to specify a particular scope. you add the ~Sx, where x is the scope number on the system:

http://innopac.lsuhsc.edu/search~S1/tannals of internal medicine

This happened for us also. I called III and was told that the method of copying links such as this was never a supported feature.  They referred us to the manual for the appropriate methods of building search links, and stated that if one follows the recommended methods they will be supported in later versions.

Just curious if anyone encountered this after upgrading their system to Release 2002A.

 

We have a master list of our journals and created a direct link to their Title entry in our Webpac. 

One example of a link we had was:

http://linus.lmu.edu/search/tpacific+his/tpacific+his/1,2,5,B/frameset&F=tpacific+historian&1,1

 

It was just brought to my attention that now the direct links to the titles are not functioning.  Doing a search within the webpac I find the following link to this title

http://linus.lmu.edu/search/tpacific+his/tpacific+his/1,2,5,B/frameset&FF=tpacific+historian&1,1

 

The only difference being the extra capital F after the frameset@ context.

 

I'm going on the general assumption that this was caused by the system upgrade somehow.  I just wanted to ask any HTML gurus if they have encountered this or might know what happened here.  It probably wouldn't be a problem to do a find and replace on all of our web pages containing direct links to a Journal Title, but I don't want this to be a "bug" that III is going to fix later so that we have to then re-update the pages.

 

Thanks,
