Netscape 4.x Users: Your Days Are Numbered

If your library is using Netscape 4.x (that is, any release of Netscape 4) with DOCLINE, it is time to move to another version or another browser. As of June 15, 2003, the National Library of Medicine will no longer support Netscape 4.x for DOCLINE access. What does that mean? It doesn't mean that suddenly, on June 15, you will no longer be able to do your DOCLINE processing. But it does mean that, if you have any problems with your browser, and you are using Netscape 4.x, NLM and the RML will not be able to provide much help. And, as DOCLINE improvements are made over time, the likelihood increases that indeed one day, suddenly, you will no longer be able to do your DOCLINE processing. That day might be quite soon, in fact, because DOCLINE v1.6 - the new release that implements the SERHOLD-OCLC Batch Transfer (see http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/faqdocline.html#serholdbatchupdate) - is scheduled for the beginning of July.

Supported browsers for DOCLINE access include Netscape 7, Internet Explorer 6.x or Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 (Service Pack 2). Netscape 6 continues to be unsupported for DOCLINE use due to numerous issues with this browser version.

DOCLINE system requirements and browser settings are at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/system_requirements.html#system
