Library URLs

In January 2014, we announced the change to library specific URLs. This was the first step in creating the ability for libraries to purchase their own content and have it added to enki. We recently put the new code that will allow library owned content into place.  Since putting the code in place, the generic URLs of www.enkilibrary.org and enkilibrary.org have not allowed users to place holds. A fix for this has been put in place which requires users to specify their library system if it is not in the URL.

If you still use one of the generic URLs, please edit your website to change the link to use the new, library specific, URL. This will provide better service for your users.
  
The new URL is in the form of http://xxxx.enkilibrary.org where xxxx is the code that your library has been assigned in enki. So, for example, the URL for Alameda County Library will be http://acl.enkilibrary.org.  Let me know if you have any questions.

You should also use the new, library specific, URL in your MARC records if at all possible.

New Marc Records available

MARC records are now available for the Kensington and National Highlights books that were loaded in November. I have made extensive updates to the programming for creating MARC records and have applied these changes to the two most recent additions.

You can access the MARC records at http://enkitools.enkilibrary.org/marcrecords/index.html.

Make sure to edit the 856 tag to customize the URL to your Library's URL. If you choose to use the new SSL site, make sure to customize that part of the URL too.

For example, change

http://enkilibrary.org/EcontentRecord/22271

to

https://cccl.enkilibrary.org/EcontentRecord/22271

I expect to have MARC records for the Smashwords and Workman books that were loaded in November and December soon.

SSL Certificate added

We have added a SSL certificate to the enki site. This means that you can point to the secure version of the site whenever you are ready.

So, if your URL is currently http://xxxx.enkilibrary.org, you would change your URL to https://xxx.enkilibrary.org. Make sure to change the links in the 856 tag of your marc records also.
