Step 1. Open a web browser and navigate to your Circulation Manager admin interface (with /admin at the end; e.g., https://circulation.libraryname-state.org/admin)

Step 2. Click the System Configuration item on the top menu bar to enter the Admin interface

Step 3. Click the Metadata tab in the left sidebar menu
Step 4. Click the Create a new metadata service option

Step 5. From the Protocol drop-down field select NoveList API

Step 6.

  • Enter a name that identifies the library for this integration: e.g., NoveList -- ABC Public Library
  • Enter the profile ID from the data you received from NoveList support as noted in the previous section
  • Enter the API password provided for your NoveList integration
  • Select the library under Add Library from the menu
  • Click the Add button
  • Click the Submit button to save the integration

Step 7.

Once you have submitted the integration configuration, the library's collection will be schedule to be uploaded to ESBCO/NoveList. You should send an email to NoveListSelectSupport@ebsco.com to create a case with their support team indicating the integration has been created. This notification prompts their staff to review the logs after the update for any problems.

 

For Admins

Once the NoveList integration configuration is complete, a cron task will run the  novelist_update script, scheduled for midnight (local time to the circ-scripts container) over Saturday/Sunday, which will upload ISBN/title information from the library's collection to EBSCO. Do be aware that the script only runs once a week. (You can change that in the /etc/cron.d/circulation cron file; if so, schedule the upload during off-peak hours to minimize service impact. Checking first with EBSCO support staff is a good idea.)
