A set of CSS files, images, and templates for making the SFX "simplified templates" look like the Cal State SFX menu.

This is a script to export a library's SFX holdings in a form suitable for loading into Serials Solutions' 360 Core. This enables us to maintain our threshold information in SFX and have Summon reflect the SFX holdings without further work in Summon.

Note that we have still enabled most of the important targets (databases) in 360 Core, so that we can benefit from that knowledgebase too. The main reason for exporting from SFX is to avoid maintaining local thresholds in both systems for targets with varying start dates like Science Direct.

This Firefox browser add-on displays electronic book and journal availability from SFX in the University of Michigan's OPAC. This tool was created primarily so that the user can see both the Aleph holdings information and the SFX thresholds on one web page to verify that they match. It can be used by technical services staff to keep the catalog and SFX up to date with each other. Information from the SFX service menu is inserted on the webpage of the record representing the book or journal in the OPAC which eliminates the need for multiple searches for the same book or journal in the catalog and in the Link Server.

cron_marcit.cgi http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/download/attachments/26739622/cron_marcit.cgi is a PERL script that automates the activation of the marcit process so that marcit can be cronned. It interacts with the SFX Admin web interface in much the same way that library staff do. This way if Ex Libris changes the underlying scripts, the process continues to work. In theory, you could modify this to run with the manual export, but this particular instance is set up to run with a profile.

An improved target parser for Oxford University Press journals, to replace OUP::OUP. There are four main improvements:
(1) can generate WAYFless URLs for use with Shibboleth authentication in UK Federation
(2) if the volume and issue of the journal are not provided in the OpenURL, this parser will fall back to a link to the correct year, if supplied, rather than merely the journal home page.
(3) rewrites volume and issue numbers in roman numerals when required for linking to the journal. The current OUP::OUP target parser fails to construct the target URL correctly for such journals.
(4) if the starting page of the article is supplied in the URL, the target parser will work out what the correct issue number is. Sometimes sources do not supply the issue number, or supply the wrong style (see examples).

JournalTOCs is the largest free collection of scholarly journals Table of Contents (TOCs) for more than 15,000 journals from nearly 700 publishers.

This small code contribution implements JournalTOCs as a target with the use of a plugin so the target only displays if a TOC for the given ISSN number exists.

The HathiTrust target uses a plugin the query the HathiTrust API. If the item is in the public domain then a link is generated for the SFX menu window.

SFX 3 does not support translation of Citation Linker. Using Google's website translator is possible to provide users with up to 52 language versions of the Citation Linker. Translations are provided by Google Translate service.

This program allows you to import your SFX knowledgebase into an Innovative Interfaces Electronic Resources Management system.

This Target Parser allows to set Uniform Information Gateway (UIG) and other subject Gateways as SFX Target
The UIG provides simultaneous searching in different Czech and foreign resources (library catalogues, union catalogues, full text databases etc.) through one user interface.  Resources available in UIG are free accessible or licensed (the access is possible only from defined IP addresses).

AARLINK is a persistent link plugin for SFX. It integrates into the SFX Menu as a TargetDisplayer, and uses a one button AJAX interface.

The standard ALEPH plugin for the LOCAL_CATALOGUE_EX_LIBRIS_ALEPH target can only display information from two MARC fields/subfields. While each holding record is shown on a separate line in the SFX menu, there is no formatting of that line.

This modification allows several subfields from the same MARC field to be displayed in a columnar format.

The two editions of ISI's Journal Citation Reports® provide evaluation data (e.g. journal impact factors) for more than 6,400 science journals and 1,800 social sciences journals. Subscribers to the JCR may use this SFX target to offer a link to the journal's trend graph from their SFX menu.

The implementation uses the "Generic" target parser as well as a list of object portfolio. Instead of maintaining the title list, a threshold like "$obj->need('ISSN')" can be used alternatively, see The SFX linking to Journal Citation Report for details.

This code improves the display of Aleph holdings in the SFX menu (using the plugin/displayer mechanism). The standard Ex Libris code does not display the fields nicely in columns.

• a simple EZProxy config generated automatically from the SFX kb
• There are two issues which make this a bit imperfect:

1) The actual URLs for targets are not stored in the SFX db in a very reasonable way, it's a trick to get them out. And the URLs for some target parsers aren't in fact in the SFX db at all, they're just in Perl code. So this isn't really guaranteed to get _every_ URL, but it does get most of them.

2) Targets assigned to a particular Institution you'd want to go into the EZProxy config in a special way, assigned to just certain EZProxy groups. At least the way we use SFX Institutions here. This is tricky to do, and I haven't accomplished it, so at the moment this script ignores any targets that aren't turned on for the Default institution, if they're just turned on for certain institutions, they won't be included.

Edmund, I'd really like more information about how you are doing this from the Serial Solutions knowledge base, we'd like to do that too. Can you email me off list (it might not be appropriate for the list since it's not an EL product?), with more info and/or code?

A small script that runs the table_maintenance.pl script provided with SFX for all instances.

Chameleon is an SFX plug-in that provides a more fine-grained look-up of journal and book holdings in your library catalog than the standard SFX Z39.50 plug-in. For journals, Chameleon examines your holdings statements to determine, not just whether you have the journal title, but whether your holdings show you have the year of the article the user is requesting. For books, Chameleon checks to see if the book is available for borrowing as a condition for showing the catalog link. This decreases the number of times users wind-up in a dead-end in your catalog from the SFX menu because you've got incomplete runs for a journal or the book the user is looking for is checked out. You don't need to use both options. You can use Chameleon just for journals or just for books.

The Small URL Service for SFX uses a combination of AJAX and a locally installed cgi script to dynamically grab a small URL from a URL truncation service. While this example uses TRUNC -http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/display/CrossProductCC/TRUNC+-+URL+Truncator+%28tinyurl%29 - a locally developed small url link server, you could easily modify the cgi script to get a small url from a service like tinyurl.com, using their api.

bibliotek.dk is a free service where you can see what has been published in Denmark and the holdings of Danish libraries.

This small code contribution implements bibliotek.dk as a target with the use of a plugin so the target only displays if holdings for the given ISSN or ISBN number exists.

The plugin uses the SRU web service of bibliotek.dk and can be used as a template for similar services.

An SFX getReference target parser for the Talis Aspire resource list management system, which enables OpenURLs to be sent from the SFX to Aspire for 'bookmarking'.

The parser builds an outbound OpenURL from SFX, sending only those elements of the Context_Object which are populated, which is then read and processed by Aspire.

Automate Revision Update for SFX 4

Here is a set of shell scripts to automate revision update for sfx 4.

With weekly SFX knowledge base updates we have found it convenient to run this on our test server every Tuesday and on our production server every

Friday. The results on the test server are checked before Friday to ensure the update went as planned.
The script(s) perform a backup of sfx4, clean up the tmp directory up to 28th of the previous month, clean up the sfx user log directories and dbs

scratch directories, run the revision update, check for broken links and email the results. The scripts use server_admin_util for cleanup and link

checking.
We have the script running in RedHat EL 5.4 64 bit physical servers and under VMWare.
This script is also an example of how to automate the sfx server_admin_util to run from a cron job.

The sfx_revup script runs the following steps.
bkr4 remove previous mysql hot copy directories
bks4 creates mysql hot copy backup files
bkt4 creates a backup tar file of the mysql hot copy files and a tar file of the sfx4 tree
For sfx global :-
 sfx_a_2_1 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/tmp/
For sfx global and local :-
 sfx_a_2_4 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/$USER/logs/
 sfx_a_2_5 Clean /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/$USER/dbs/scratch/
Runs the revision update then
either :-
 sfx_a_2_6 Check for broken symbolic links (previous menu option before change to 7)
or :-
 sfx_a_2_7 Check for broken symbolic links
Emails a notification to one email address.
Emails log files to another email address.

Basic URL Export for SFX 4 with additional proxy flag information (only active targets, services and portfolios).

• Main motivation behind this module/program is that the SFX 4 URL Export is broken out of the box.
• Export time on average is less than 2 minutes (compared to the 10 (4.1.1) or 20 (pre 4.1.1) minutes of the Ex Libris export) - the time varies depending on your hardware of course.
• Supports many exceptions, where the hostnames must be built from jkeys.

This is mostly based on the SFX_SCRIPTS of EZproxy Wondertool without the EZproxy part (since that should be part of a separate software to which you can feed URLs from many different sources).

SFX does not support translation of target names and their fields. With this Target Displayer you can translate target and service public names as well as note and authentication fields at the target, service or portfolio level using translation files. The translation only works at the SFX Menu screen - not using the API nor anywhere else. An alternative (older) Target Displayer which uses inline translations found in the previously mentioned fields is also supplied.

Updated version works with the simplified menu and SFX 4.

This is a target parser for the NEXIS UK service, which is at present unsupported by the SFX KB.

This Target Parser allows to search in Virtua Catalogue (used in many Slovak Libraries) with metadata from SFX.

This persistent link creator makes the URLs computed by SFX available for users to copy and paste into their syllabi, electronic reserves or other webpages.

Odkaz na generator citaci. Kliknutim na target se predaji metadata do systemu www.citace.com a po par krocich je vygenerovana citace podle normy ISO 690. Funguje vyborne na clanky, lze pouzit i na casopisy a knihy. Kvalita vysledku zalezi na mnozstvi a validite metadat predavanych ze zdroje do SFX.

Most OpenURL link resolvers are maintained by institutions, thus the services offered are selected and optimized to serve a specific target group, e.g. the staff of the Max Planck Society. Nevertheless, external users are sometime directed to the MPG/SFX link resolver because they found a corresponding link on a MPS web site or they searched for literature on the MPG edoc server. Therefore, we setup a link to OCLC's OpenURL Resolver Registry which can be used to redirect the request to a local link resolver. The service is offered only, if the request comes from an IP address which hasn't been recognized as being from MPS.
