ArticleReach Request Form

Command link:     /nonret
HTML document:  request_nonret.html

ArticleReach Central Server Only

This form can be enabled on the ArticleReach Central Server only. The form cannot be customized by ArticleReach site.

This form controls the appearance of the page used by a patron to place an ArticleReach request in the WebPAC on the ArticleReach Central Server. If this file exists, the system uses it rather than the default display.

The following tokens are valid for the request_nonret.html page:

Token Description
<!--{toplogo}--> The system replaces this token with the HTML defined in the TOPLOGO Web option.
<!--{formbegin}--> This required token is replaced by an opening <FORM> tag. This token must be placed in the custom form before any form-related tokens.
<!--{errmsg}--> The system replaces this token with a display of various error messages to the user explaining why the patron record cannot be accessed (for example, "Invalid PIN," "Sorry, cannot locate patron record," "Sorry, name entered does not match name in record," or "Please fill in ALL of the following information").
<!--{nr[O or R]:[FIELD]:[DISPLAY LENGTH]}--> The system replaces this token with an input for a request information field in the ArticleReach database. The elements of this token are:
ElementDescription
[O or R]The character indicating whether the field is optional (O) or required (R).
[FIELD]The name of the field, in a format compatible with the OpenURL Standard. The possible values of this element are described below.
[DISPLAY LENGTH]The number of characters that a patron can input in this field.
Use repeat instances of this token with varying FIELD elements to create an input form for an ArticleReach request. For example:

<!--{nrO:aufirst:20}-->
<!--{nrO:auinit:1}-->
<!--{nrO:aulast:43}-->
<!--{nrR:atitle:75}-->
<!--{submit}--> This token is replaced by the value of the ICON_REQUESTARTICLE Web option.
<!--{cancel}--> This token is replaced by the value of the ICON_CANCEL Web option. Clicking this link returns the patron to the bibliographic display.
<!--{patpref}--> The system replaces this token with radio button controls for patron delivery preferences for ArticleReach materials.
<!--{pickuploc}--> The system replaces this token with a dropdown list of valid pickup locations for ArticleReach materials.
<!--{formend}--> This required token is replaced by a closing </FORM> tag. This token must be placed in the custom form after all form-related tokens.
<!--{botlogo}--> The system replaces this token with the HTML defined in the BOTLOGO Web option.

You can create separate custom forms for each combination of language, scope, and central patron type by using the following naming convention:

request_nonret_LANG_s#_p#.html

LANG The language code (spi for Spanish, frc for French, etc.).
s# The number of the scope (s1, s2, s3, etc.).
p# The central patron type or PTYPE (p0 or p243, etc.).

For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.

ArticleReach ISSN Finder

If the ArticleReach ISSN Finder feature is enabled, the system can display a drop-down list of possible title matches as the patron enters data in the "title" input box of the ArticleReach Request Form.

As the patron enters data, the system automatically searches the ArticleReach Catalog for possible title matches and displays the search results in a sorted drop-down list. The patron can select a title from the list and, if necessary, edit it. Using the title that the patron selects or edits, the system identifies the matching bibliographic record in the ArticleReach Catalog and displays the associated ISSN and/or EISSN in the form.

To enable this feature, your Central System Administrator must contact Innovative.
