Dear Forum professionals

I am happy to let you know that it is now possible for anyone to use
open source NewGenLib via the server-side installation on one of our
public IP machines. Please follow the steps given below. With this, you
can use all the functionality as though the software is installed for
you. However, the data added will be stored only temporarily and may be
deleted. Please note that although this is a full fledged application,
it is only to demonstrate to professionals and to help then get a first
hand feel of the software.

1. Install J2RE1.4.2 on one or more client machines from the Sun
Microsystems web site. This is the run time version of Java and
needs to be installed on all clients that plan to access NewGenLib
functionality.
2. Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2 on your client
machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL,
http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication
3. You will soon see a JAVA Starting window and the very first time
that you launch the NewGenLib client, it will download the
application from our server to your machine. This may take time
and depends on the bandwidth you have. From the second and
subsequent times, the applet is loaded from your client unless
there has been an update of the server side software.
4. You will soon see a dialog where you need to enter the IP address
of the server. This is 121.246.154.208. The port by default shown
is 8080. You need not change this. Click OK in this dialog.
5. Next you will see the Login screen of NewGenLib. Enter xyz as the
User_id and abc as the password. This user does not have all the
System Administrator permissions.
6. Soon you will see the main menu of the NewGenLib applet with the
functional modules on top. Click any of the main menu options to
see the different functions possible within the module
7. To see the OPAC of the installation, open your Internet browser
and enter
8. http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt and you will soon see
the opening page of the OPAC with search and other options

I would be happy to answer any questions but better still would be for
professionals to go the discussion forum on Sourceforge.net,
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=210780 and create an account and
post your problems, suggestions.

Best regards.

Haravu
