Examples of direct URL links to some functions within COBISS/OPAC.
NOTE: URLs must not contain spaces, letters with a diacritic placed over them, aka as caron (č, š, ž) and some other characters. Instead of a space either the "+" sign or the "%20" characters should be used.
Examples of links
Link to individual library or database
- http://www.cobiss.ba/scripts/cobiss?command=CONNECT&BASE=10990&lani=en
(Library KBZE) - http://www.cobiss.ba/scripts/cobiss?command=connect&base=10500&dept=71&lani=en
(Library BGSA, Dept. 71) - http://www.cobiss.ba/scripts/cobiss?command=connect&base=public&lani=en
(List of libraries containing the word "Public")
What to do? In the base parameter, enter either the library code or cronym or a word from the name of the library or a database. If the word is contained in the names of several libraries, a list of these libraries will appear (example 3). The best way to access individual libraries within COBISS is to use a unique data within the COBISS system, i.e. the library's code (examples 1 and 2).
