Durable Links: SearchIt Categories

From wsuwiki

What is Search It!?

SearchIt is the new federated searching service that the WSU Libraries is presently implementing. It will give us a new way to organize database and other resources in a way that is more manageable and easier to use.

One thing that SearchIt will offer is the ability to link to a dynamic page of resources by topic (or "category"). We are still determining how these links are formulated, thus the reason for this page.

Update on scripts:

   * http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl - A-Z list
   * http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?subject - Subject List
   * http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?quick - Quick Search
   * http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?meta - Meta Search

NOTE FROM JERRY:

I've set it up so that you can deep link to search results pages and subject/category results pages in MetaLib. (This does not work for quick sets or Meta searching.)

After obtaining the results set from MetaLib, just use the form ?[Everything after the "func="] from the original URL when making your call to the script.

Jane's example below would be linked as follows: (BTW... this link is to advertising resources, not business resources.)

http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?find-db-1-category&mode=category&sequence=000000070&restricted=unrestricted

WHAT IT WAS:

http://lib6.wsulibs.wsu.edu:8331/V/7Q17LD816NFCK77JN61UPK2SSVFUTDCK9BAA1YEYL3B5G56BU4-80292?func=find-db-1-category&mode=category&sequence=000000070&restricted=unrestricted

WHAT IT IS:

http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?find-db-1-category&mode=category&sequence=000000070&restricted=unrestricted

If you see a "PDS Handle" in the URL, leave that off. You will notice that I did NOT include the "&pds_handle=372006923015313200672309" from the URL. in Jane's example.

Here is another example, this time linking to business resources:

* The original MetaLIb URL appears in your location bar as:

http://lib6.wsulibs.wsu.edu:8331/V/1I53GXY7QX1CLCMEE79HMHT995ISHUXJEL9D1T5Y6437N9YTBP-00929?func=find-db-1-category&mode=category&sequence=000000089&restricted=unrestricted

* Your direct link would be created thusly:

http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?find-db-1-category&mode=category&sequence=000000089&restricted=unrestricted

Here is a link to the results of a search for Proquest:

http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?find-db-1-title&mode=titles&scan_start=proquest&search_type=start&restricted=unrestricted

Here is a link to the results of an "A" browse:

http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Scripts/Metalib.pl?find-db-1-title&mode=titles&scan_start=a3F&search_type=exact&restricted=unrestricted> find-db-1-title&mode=titles&scan_start=a%3F&search_type=exact&restricted=unrestricted

And etc...

Note: The section "sequence=000000070" is what determines which subject page the database goes to. To go to a different subject page, replace this number with one listed below that corresponds to the desired subject area:
