Limiting Access to Millennium Media

Your library can choose to limit access to media materials by placing a PIN number in the record and modifying some pages within the WebPAC. If you are not using the media files with Course Reserves, you can still limit access using the Publisher Code when you set up the media sets. Please refer to Beginning Procedures for more information on how to do this.

To use Media Manager with Course Reserves, you can set up course passwording. Information can be found at http://csdirect.iii.com/documentation/media_management.shtml. You will need to ask that the field tag for the course password be set to display. Innovative Interfaces must set up the course password Tag in your course records. Innovative will set this tag up for you as an 's' tag unless your library specifies otherwise. This is a Service Commitment.

After Innovative Interfaces has set up the tag, your library should make sure the system options are set to enable the tag. This can be checked in telnet using the menu path A>A>S>O>WebPAC Options. Once here, look for line 43 'Tag to Use for Course Passwords in Course Records' and make sure it is an 's'. If your library specified a different tag, make sure this option is set to the tag you specified.

After the above is set up, you can add a password to the field when you are setting up the course records. Simply insert the password field into the course record.

When your Millennium Media software is being installed, you will be asked questions pertaining to:

  • Designated Printer Set-up
  • Add Charges to Patron Records when an Image is viewed or printed
  • Default Charge for Printing
  • Patron Verification Set-up
  • Course Record Browse Display Text
  • Copyright Statement

Besides setting the tag for the password, your library's Webmaster can set some Web Options for the HTML document pverify6_web.htm. This page governs accessing password-protected course records and media files. Below are a set of options and tokens most commonly used by libraries with this page:

WEB OPTIONS

BUT_RET2CRS - specify the image to use for the "Return to Course" graphic button
ERESERVE - limit access to IP addresses
ERESERVE_PRINT_MESSAGE - message to display after print command
ERESERVE_IP - needed if your library server is inside a firewall
IMAGE_PRINT - controls whether printing is allowed from the image viewer applet
