Accessing WebCollection Plus
Constructing the URL for the main page
Once you've started the WebCollection Plus services, you can access the main
Library Search page by entering the name or IP address of your server followed
by /webopac/main, a question mark (
?
),
siteid=
, and the correct Site ID in the
Location or Address text box of your Web browser.
Examples:
http://192.168.0.1/webopac/main?siteid=smithhs
http://www.myserver.edu/webopac/main?siteid=smithhs
If you entered a different port number during installation, insert a colon (
:
) and
the port number after the IP address.
Example:
http://192.168.0.1:4000/webopac/main?siteid=smithhs
Your patrons will need this complete address to access WebCollection Plus. If you
have established a Web page for your school, you can create a link from it to
WebCollection Plus.
Type the URL in the address box of your browser and press Enter. The main page
of WebCollection Plus appears. To test the connection to the FairCom database,
enter a search word in the text box, and click the Title icon. You should see a list
of results.
Constructing the URL for the Setup Information page
To access the Setup Information page, in the Location or Address text box,
substitute config" for main" in the address.
Examples:
http://192.168.0.1/webopac/config?siteid=smithhs
http://www.myserver.edu/webopac/config?siteid=smithhs
Changing the setup password
Defining a Setup password (by default MAKEITSO ) prevents patrons (or any
visitor) from changing the settings or password on the Setup pages. To change or
delete it, click Change Password on the Setup Information page.
On the Change Setup Password page, enter your preferred password; use up to
10 alphanumeric characters. Asterisks mask the password as you type; you must
type it again for verification. Then click Save.
If you prefer to save your setup preferences without entering a password, enter
the default password in the Old Password text box, enter nothing in the other
two, and click Save. However, we strongly recommend the use of passwords.
