academic libraries more than twice as often as they go to
the movies.

WARP 1.0
|
Web Access Reserve Program |
|
WARP from the User's Perspective: |
|
When the user clicks on your library's web page link for eReserve, this script takes the user to a page that lists the professors who have items on eReserve. When a professor's name is clicked, the class numbers show for which there are eReserve items. When the class number is clicked, the article titles show, ending with a ".pdf". When a title is clicked, the article is displayed in Adobe Acrobat format.

WARP has the Following Features: |
|
1. WARP is written in Perl and is portable to any UNIX, Linux, NT/2000, or Novell Netware platforms.
2. WARP checks the IP address of the person making the inquiry. If it does not belong to your home institution, then a "request denied" web page is returned.
3. If the user is coming from an authorized IP address, then the script reads the file structure for the names of the professors, class numbers, and article names along with the "padding" of your library's web page layout (background, logos, etc).
4. Accomodations are made for Netscape's preferences vs. Internet Explorer's (spaces in the file names, individual display quirks, etc).
5. The eReserve Manager creates the directories (professor names, class numbers) on the web server network drive and the script puts those same professor names and class numbers on the web page.
6. The eReserve Manager can click and drag the pdf files from the workstation's hard drive where the Acrobat scanned article was first stored, to the network drive's class number directory where the pdf article title will immediately display.
7. EReserve can be managed by deleting the pdf files on the network drive but keeping the files on the local workstation in case the professor wants to have them available during a later semester.
Be sure to follow your institution's fair use copyright eReserve policy.
The WARP zip file includes warpREADME.html, reserve.pl, and cgi-lib.pl.
