Today's topics:
- Access to Malmad databases.
- PAC files for automatic Proxy definition.
- Mathematica users - please raise your hand...
o Change in Proxy Access to MALMAD Services, by Elhanan Adler:
Beginning Oct. 18th a change will be made in the machba proxies which
will allow access to MALMAD library consortium services only from
university-specific proxies. This will allow accurate statistics on
per-institution use as well as the future introduction of services
(such as Elsevier journals, ECO, etc.) in which each institution may
be entitled to different services.
Users whose browser is not correctly configured will receive a notice
referring them to their local branch of HUCA or library. The change
required will be to redefine the browser proxy setting either to a
local proxy or (preferably) to a local proxy pac - the specific change
will be defined by each institution.
Note: You can either use our proxy at proxy.huji.ac.il or use the PAC
file as described bellow.
o PAC file: It is possible to use an automatic proxy definition instead
of defining it manually. We've created such a file which knows to
access BC proxy for those that are permitted to use it, knows which
sites to contact directly, etc.
In order to use it enter your browser's proxy definition page, and at
the "automatic proxy" hit: pac.huji.ac.il/proxy.pac
o Mathematica users: In order to know who is using Mathematica please
send mail to Marian at marian@vms and state that you are using Mathematica.
