Notes

If you include an authorization not specified in your IP address recognition setup information, users who click on the link are not logged on to FirstSearch. Instead they receive a message and an opportunity to log on manually using a FirstSearch authorization number and password.

If you do not type "autho" correctly in the URL, your default authorization for IP address recognition is used.

If you use the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.X browser, do not type a URL containing an authorization in the browser's Open dialog box or in the Address section of the browser's tool bar. If you do, the browser does not format the URL correctly and the system may use the default authorization and other default values for options specified in the URL. However, the Internet Explorer 3.X browser does format the URL correctly when you click on a link containing a URL.

Examples of IP address recognition URLs

Ejemplos

Example 1

Example	https://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?autho=999999999
Descripción	Log on to FirstSearch using the authorization 999999999. To work correctly, the URL must contain an authorization specified in your IP address recognition setup information.

 

Example 2

Example	https://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip
Descripción	Log on to FirstSearch using your default authorization for IP address recognition.

Notes

You can specify OCLC-defined topic areas or custom topic areas that you define in the FirstSearch administrative module.

To highlight aspects of FirstSearch for your users, you can create separate links on your web pages for individual topic areas, databases, and Electronic Collections Online journals.

Notes

Returning the user to the page containing the link clicked to access FirstSearch (done=referer) works only if the user clicked on a web-page link to enter FirstSearch. It does not work if the user typed the URL in the browser.

If a user's FirstSearch session times out or ends before the user exits properly, the user sees a message indicating that the session has ended. After clicking OK, the user returns to the page containing the link clicked to access FirstSearch.

Notes

The logo appears throughout each FirstSearch session at either the upper left or upper right of each FirstSearch screen, depending on where you have designated it to appear.

For best results, the logo's image should be 40 pixels high.

If you want to specify the logo image file in the administrative module and your library has multiple FirstSearch authorizations, be sure to specify it in the administrative module for each authorization.

More information is available on Add your library's logo to FirstSearch.

In the administrative module, timeout periods are specified in minutes. For IP address recognition, timeout periods are specified in seconds.

Example	https://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?timeout=600&fttimeout=1200
Descripción	Log on to FirstSearch and set the session timeout period to 600 seconds (10 minutes) and the full-text timeout period to 1200 seconds (20 minutes).

 

Example 2

Example

https://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?timeout=600&fttimeout=1200&done=referer

Descripción

Log on to FirstSearch and set the session timeout period to 600 seconds (10 minutes) and the full-text timeout period to 1200 seconds (20 minutes). When exiting FirstSearch, return to the page from which the user entered FirstSearch.  Note: If your exit URL is not working as expected (e.g., when a timeout occurs, remote users are returned to their proxy login page, users cannot restart their session without having a 9-digit FirstSearch authorization and password, etc.), you'll need to use URL encoding on the link. Use a tool like https://www.urlencoder.org/ to encode the URL of the referred page. You do not need to change any settings on the tool, including any drop-downs. Once you have the encoded URL, go into the FirstSearch Admin settings and update the Done-url link, and try again.
