Create hyperlinks to BiblioWeb records

Once the Biblioscape database is published on the Web by BiblioWeb, you can link to it from your Web site, your word document, etc. Since BiblioWeb content is protected, you need to add the login name and password info into the URL. For example, if your user name is "guest" and your password is also "guest", you can enter the following URL to display a reference record:

http://216.205.78.164:8001/bw_ref_bib.htm?RefID=5838&hiwords=&edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest

You can add the "&edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest" text to the end of any BiblioWeb URL to gain access to a record, search, etc. This makes it easy to access your database from other places like your word document, a web page, etc. Here are more examples:

Create an automatic login hyperlink

To access a BiblioWeb powered site, users need to have a login account. If BiblioWeb is licensed by "concurrent users" or "hits", you can create a hyperlink to let Web users log in to BiblioWeb with just one click. The following code shows you how to create such a link in HTML.

Try a <a href="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_login2srch?edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest">live</a> example.

Create a hyperlink to run a search without an account.

You can create a hyperlink to run an Advanced Search on a BiblioWeb server without account information, but individual record can't be displayed out the search result set, because a proper user login is required for that. The following example shows you how to create such a link in HTML.

This is a test for hyperlinked query. <A HREF="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_search_adv?sql=select+bib.*+from+bib+where+bib.authors+like+'%25Smith%25'+&hiwords=smith"> Try this link for all publications by Smith</A>

Create a hyperlink to login and run a search

If you want the user to be able to browse searched records, you need to add the login information plus the query into the hyperlink. In other words, the user login and a pre-defined search is run in one click. To take advantage of this feature, the BiblioWeb server should be licensed by "concurrent users" or "hits", because when licensed by "number of users", each user account can't access the server from more than 5 machines. Here is an example of such a link.

This is a test for auto-login plus hyperlinked query in one click. <A HREF="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_login2srch?edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest&bw_search_adv?sql=select+bib.*+from+bib+where+bib.title+like+'%25Synthesis%25'+&hiwords=synthesis"> Try this link for all publications that have the word "Synthesis" in the title</A>
