Highlighting DOCLINE Enhancements

Documentation of the new DOCLINE system enhancements has been mailed to participants and is also available on the NLM homepage at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/libraries/doclin e/docsysnw.html.

You may want to pay particular attention to the following items:

• Participating libraries that prefer to use the Ariel delivery method to receive documents need to review their routing tables to make sure that libraries that provide Ariel service are included.* If not, these requests will route directly to NLM.

• In the Borrow module, users can now enter a Unique Identifier (UI) from these MEDLARS databases: AIDSLINE, CANCERLIT, SPACELINE, HealthSTAR, HealthSTAR75, PREMEDLINE and OLDMEDLINE, in addition to MEDLINE.

• In the Borrow module, the system will automatically convert non-journal citations to monograph entries so that the request will route on the Monograph/Audiovisual/Non-SERLINE (MANS) routing table. Be sure you have at least one library listed in this table.* At this time there is no way to stop a MANS request from routing to NLM. Users should check STATUS to determine if a request has routed to NLM; it can then be canceled if it has not yet been received by NLM.

• Participants must use the SERLINE Routing Cell Start-Stop feature in DOCLINE to prevent a request from being routed to NLM. See pages 3-16 and 3-17 of your DOCLINE manual for an explanation of this feature. In a few months NLM will be moving to a n ew document delivery system, Relais (look for an article on this in the next Latitudes). The new system will not read the COMMENTS field to identify requests that state "NLM DO NOT FILL." Participants will be charged for each filled r equest supplied by NLM.

• If phone numbers and Ariel information are stored in DOCUSER, then the DOCLINE system will retrieve this information from DOCUSER. Please verify your DOCUSER record to ensure its accuracy.* DOCUSER can be accessed through the standard MEDLARS login. Enter login selection <B> and then your <USERID/PASSWORD>. Next enter the command <FILE DOC>. At the prompt, enter your Library Identifier (LIBID). To see your full DOCUSER record enter the command <PRT DL INDENTED>. To logou t enter the command <STOP Y>.

• In the LD RECPT module, look for comments from IGM users or GM Windows users. The comment may contain up to 158 characters. It will display below the HOLDING field and will have the field name COMMENT.

*If you need to make changes to your SERLINE or MANS routing table, if you need to update the information in your DOCUSER record, or if you have additional questions about these enhancements, please contact the PSRML Network Coordinator at (310) 825-12 00 or (800) 338-7657 or send an email message to heidits@library.ucla.edu.
