Book LocatorFind out where in a specific library a book is shelved given its call number. |
OverviewThe Book Locator performs a simple redirect for a url that resolves to Library/Call Number pairs. The resolution for how specific it can get depends a great deal on which library you are looking in. The intention being that you can create a link to the expected physical location of a book by just providing the library and the call number. The information you provide is passed in the url under the following format:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/api/locator/ The list of library names understood by the Book Locator is provided in Mirlyn. ExamplesBF 3 .A664 in the Graduate Library |
Proxy ServerCheck to see whether a specific url is proxied by the MLibrary proxy server. |
OverviewThe Library subscribes to many third party resources, most of which have IP based authentication for determining who is allowed access to the resource. For nearly all of these resources, university members are allowed access to the resource from off-campus through use of the MLibrary proxy server. Now because of the idiosyncracies of maintaining this architecture, it may be useful to know whether a particular url would be proxied by the MLibrary proxy server. The format for this is:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/api/proxy/ For the Format setting accepted formats are: text or json Examples
Is http://www.jstor.org/ in the MLibrary proxy server?(json) |
