Sierra: Scoping update 3/6/13
I’m in the process of enabling scoping on the individual UAL Catalog search pages. I’m started on the main catalog search page and I will update each search page (tab) in the order they appear on the screen. Except for the Advanced Search page (tab). This page is a little tricky so I prefer to work on it after hours.
Joe Salem will be posting information on how to use and search scopes in the UAL Catalog. You can also learn more about scoping by visiting the Scoping SharePoint at:
https://sps.uakron.edu/sites/UL/depts/es/ulsys/scoping/default.aspx
Submission and approval functionality has been restored on the OhioLINK ETD. However OhioLINK is not linking the submission URL to the ETD Center site until the Graduate Offices give us the ahead
Students should contact their the Graduate School x7663 for instructions on how to submit their ETDs.

Scoping has been set-up for the UAL Catalog. Members of the Scoping Implementation Task Force will start testing to make sure scopes are working as intended. We will be testing on the staging server and not the live server. The only change you should notice at this time is the end of the permanent URLS has changed from S0 to S24. Older links with permanent URLS ending in S0 still work.

As reported on 1/17/13 there is a problem with LC call number searches and record displays in the catalog. Both issues are in review with software engineering, which means III is working on a fix for both issues.
Here is a work around to search by LC Call number and display the correct record:
Example: You need to retrieve QA164 R43.
- Search the LC index for QA 164.
- Browse the list until you find QA164 R43.
- Click on the entry above – QA164 .P635 2010eb.
- After you click on QA164 .P635 2010eb you will retrieve QA164 R43.
