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.
