  1. SDI - Selective Dissemination of Information הדרכת אוניב. תל אביב,אוניב. בן-גוריון, אוניב. חיפה ומכון וייצמן למדע אפריל 2002 www.exlibrisgroup.com

  2. Session Outline • What is SDI? • SDI creation and updating. • The SDI process in ALEPH. • Setting up SDI to run automatically. • HTML files for the Web OPAC interface. • New developments. • SDI in MetaLib. SDI

  3. What Is SDI? • SDI = Selective Dissemination of Information. • Patrons may request the library to send them email messages each time a new title which interests them is added to the library collection. • See also: Current Awareness Alerts SDI

  4. The SDI Workflow Summary New Suitable Bibliographic Record Patron SDI Request SDI Process SDI Message SDI

  5. SDI in ALEPH • Patrons can specify in the Web OPAC a number of search strings (in CCL format) which will be run through all (or part) of the database at regular intervals. • Each time the search is run and a new match was found, the system will send the bibliographic record, in the requested format, to the patron by email. SDI

  6. Access to SDI (1) • In order to create and update SDI queries, a patron must have: • A Local User Record (Z305 - at least for the ADM library). • Appropriate authorization for their profile*: • * Release 12.4 onwards Z61-SDI-PERMISSION SDI

  7. Access to SDI (2) • The setting up of SDI queries is done from the User screen of the Web OPAC. • It can be accessed only by patrons with a valid log-in/password (or pincode). SDI

  8. Accessing SDI Records After signing in and selecting the ADM Library, the User Information page comes up. Click on the link SDI

  9. Display of SDI Records SDI

  10. Add/Update SDI Record SDI

  11. The Oracle Table - Z325 • 01 z325 \ • 02 z325_rec_key \ • 03 id ......................6798222 • 03 sequence ................0002 • 02 z325_open_date ............20000305 • 02 z325_update_date ..........20000305 • 02 z325_last_action_date .....20000305 • 02 z325_sdi_name .............Jacobean drama • 02 z325_delivery_type ........E • 02 z325_print_format .........001 • 02 z325_sdi_interval_count ...002 • 02 z325_sdi_interval_type ....W • 02 z325_sdi_message ..........Jacobean Tragedies • 02 z325_print_sort ...........01 • 02 z325_sdi_request ..........wti=jacobean and wti=traged? • 02 z325_sdi_filter ........... • 02 z325_sdi_base_list ........BOOKS; User ID Date of last search SDI

  12. SDI Message to Patrons • The format for the email message sent to patrons is: usm01/form_lng/bor-sdi-00. • It includes library details as well as details pertaining to the SDI request. SDI

  13. The SDI Process • In order to run the SDI searches, pick up • their results and mail them to the patrons, • a process called p_sdi_01 should run. • Using the job scheduling available in • ALEPH (job_list), this process can be set to • run at regular intervals. SDI

  14. Setting Up the SDI Process • W1 23:30:00 Y USM50 p_sdi_01 USM50 alephe/tab/job_list alephe/tab/job_list.conf W1 W YYYYYYY (The above setting will run the process p_sdi_01 nightly at 23:30.) SDI

  15. The SDI Process • When the SDI process runs, it goes through all Z325 records. • Depending on the Search Intervals defined, the Last Action Date and today’s date, it defines which searches should be run today. SDI

  16. The SDI Process • The logical bases defined in the SDI record are taken from alephe/tab/ tab_base.lng. • Either the whole database, or a logical part of it, can be added to the HTML page. SDI

  17. SDI HTML Files (in www_a_lng) • File name Function • bor-sdi-head • bor-sdi-body List of SDI records for patron • bor-sdi-tail • bor-sdi-no-sdi “There’s no SDI” message • sdi-update • sdi-update-0 Update SDI Record • sdi-delete • sdi-delete-0 Warning before deletion SDI
