Deprimierend: HMML hat Links geändert

Bei der Vorbereitung eines Beitrags über die Handschriften der Hofbibliothek Sigmaringen stellte ich gestern fest, dass die bisherigen Links der HMML-Datenbank nicht mehr funktionieren. Herr Heintzelman teilte mir dazu mit:

“In the near future we hope to have all our metadata available through the Reading Room at www.vhmml.org. This new system has permalinks. Some Austrian and German libraries are already there.

I consulted with one of my colleagues and he suggested the following:

If you need to change the links, basically the old URLs can be turned into new URLs this way:

http://www.vhmml.us/research2014/catalog/detail.asp?MSID=5265
http://18.235.151.129/detail.php?msid=5265

If you notice that the “5265” at the end is the same between the two. It’s just the front matter that would need to change.

This could be done as a global substitution.

Note, however, that this is for the new location of “Oliver” (or the “legacy catalog” as it is now called).

You can also go to

http://18.235.151.129/index.php

and there is a search window for the legacy catalog. You should be able to find the Sigmaringen records there. I suggest using the options to funnel the search criteria: Select Germany for Country, so you don’t have to scroll through all the names in the City search box.

I will contact the manuscripta.at staff and let them know how these things are changing.”
