Networking (Network Library)

[Ashok Kumar Satapathy]

Namaskar Sir,

As u know that I have implemented NGL in my workstation and it is running successfully. We have two separate library under one organisation. So we have to develop network library. Like Goa University
Academic Library Network. I mean to say different libraries under one administrator.

Question is:"How can I develop network library"? I need your best help and guidance.

Even I am looking for it.

I got the chance to look into the Database for this.

There is one table with the name "library"

Following are my observation regarding the same:

1) A new library can be added with a new library_id
2) In case if networked libraries, only MASTER library can participate in "Acquisition", "Cataloging" and "Serials Management". The SLAVE library will be responsibel only for "Circulation" activities.

Now, If a library is a master library then simply write "MASTER" in the following columns:

serialmaster char(18),
cataloguemaster char(18),
acquisitionsmaster char(18),

but I don't know what to write in case its a SLAVE Library

3) There is one more column that needs to be changed:
hostlibraryid int4,

Thanks for your suggestion. Still I am in confusion. Let's hope for the NGL support and  help.
