Linking to Aleph 20

Posted by Lara Skelly | 14 Jan, 2010

With the change over to Aleph 20, the URL to link to Aleph records has also changed. The new one's are:

Linking to ISBN: http://aleph20.calico.ac.za/F/?func=find-b&find_code=ISBN&local_base=uct01&request=

Linking to ISSN: http://aleph20.calico.ac.za/F/?func=find-b&find_code=ISSN&local_base=uct01&request=

Just put the ISBN or the ISSN after the equals sign. Thanks to Caroline for providing these. 

I did notice, however, that if there is any other additional information attached to the ISBN (such as pbk.) the URL won't find the record. To get around this I suggest using the system number, which can be found in the MARC field 001. Here's the URL:

http://aleph20.calico.ac.za/F/?func=find-b&find_code=SYS&local_base=uct01&request=

Just add in the 9 or 6 digit system number after the equals sign.

Jen has suggested that you can use the document number, which is the same as the system number found in MARC field 001. Here's that URL:

http://aleph20.calico.ac.za/F/?func=direct&doc_number= 

I link to Aleph records when I add books to the Books from the Catalogue box.

Here is the link for a keyword search in Aleph 20:

Remember to add in the keyword after the equals sign.
