[Isis-users] on publication of a catalogue in the Internet

[De Smet Egbert]

Hello,

indeed we see ABCD as the 'proper' follower-up to WinISIS for putting CDS/ISIS databases on the WWW, however there are other solutions, e.g. GenISIS which would be sufficient maybe for your needs as you only want to provide searching possibilities by WWW. ABCD is much more than that and provides all library automation functions along with others.

As for your comment on the strange characters in the 'footer' : this is a matter of conflict in between the encoding scheme of the file 'abcd.def' and the one defined for displaying ABCD pages in the file htdocs/central/common/header.php where there is a line reading something like :
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=windows-1256
but the charset could also be set to 'utf-8'or 'ISO-8859-1' (or others) according to your needs. E.g. for correct Cyrillic display you probably know better than us which encoding or charset to use - we would be interested to know by the way.
Since ABCD can be used in many varieties and environments (with the upcoming UTF-8 or Unicode version especially) ABCD-managers should be aware of this and adapt the header accordingly.

Subject: [Isis-users] on publication of a catalogue in the Internet

Dear isis-users,

I have the following problem.

There is a library catalogue, created by means of the program "CDS/ISIS for Windows"
and placed on a library computer (with Operating system Windows XP).

This library computer is an element of the local computer network of our Institute
(the Operating system of the server computer is Linux, fedora).


Our Institute has a Web-site with Web-page "Library"
(see http://www.imath.kiev.ua/?lang=en).


I would like to publish this catalogue (with a possibility of search for necessary literature) on the Web-page "Library".

My questions:

Is it possible to apply the version "ABCD 1.2-transitional", with the use of proper .iso-file, for this purpose ?

If it is not, what other (free) software can I use today
for this purpose ?


Please, help me. Thanks.

(By the way, to developers of the ABCD: in the left bottom corner of each web-page of the package "ABCD 1.2-transitional" there are marks "?" instead of letters  in  English words "Informa??o" and others.)
