Imminent domain

Posted on May 4th, 2012 by Paul Stainthorp

With various new services arising out of the ongoing Library ICT systems review, we’re amassing a nice little collection of library-related 2nd-level subdomains. Here’s a list, which I’ll edit as they become live.

  1. http://library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (i.e. the ‘bare’ library subdomain: this isn’t used at the moment, but we intend that it will become the Library’s ‘root’ web presence)
  2. http://www.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (currently used for our SirsiDynix Horizon Information Portal OPAC, which we intend to move to catalogue.library… in order to free up www for our web pages hosted on WordPress)
  3. http://catalogue.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (the future home of the library catalogue)
  4. http://catalog.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (an alternative/US spelling of catalogue)
  5. http://findit.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (a launch point for our new Discovery system, still to be announced, and with a name yet to be decided!)
  6. http://lists.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (Talis Aspire reading lists, currently being developed)
  7. http://archives.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (Axiell Calm archives and special collections software)
  8. http://jerome.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (Jerome is our innovation platform and a home for experimental search services, being re-developed as part of the CLOCK project)
  9. http://auth.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (OpenAthens LA v2.1 authentication software)
  10. http://proxy.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (EZProxy authentication software)
  11. http://guides.library.lincoln.ac.uk/ (LibGuides software)

We also have two core systems which aren’t on the library subdomain:

  1. http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/ (the Lincoln Repository on EPrints – it’s appropriate that this isn’t on library, as we’ve always managed the Repository as a shared/collaborative project between CERD, ICT services, the Library, and the Research Office)
  2. http://ill.lincoln.ac.uk/ (CLIO inter-library loans software)
