This page serves as a walkthrough for editing sakai.properties for Sakaibrary configuration and provides a sample file as an example. Jump to the sample below.

Walkthrough

File location

Open (or create) sakai.properties at:

<Tomcat_root>/sakai/sakai.properties

Properties

Add and define the following properties to sakai.properties:

  • osidImpl@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the package name of the Repository OSID implementation:
    • For the MetaLib X-Server
      org.sakaibrary.osid.repository.xserver
    • For the Sirsi Web2Bridge
      edu.indiana.lib.osid.base.repository.http
  • metasearchUsername@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the username used to access your metasearch engine.
  • metasearchPassword@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the password used to access your metasearch engine.
  • metasearchBaseUrl@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.SearchManager - the metasearch engine XML gateway base URL.
    • Example for the MetaLib X-Server
      http://metalib.university.edu/X
    • Example for the Sirsi Web2Bridge
  • openUrlResolverAddress@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.CitationService - the base URL for your institution's OpenURL link resolver.
    • If you do not know this address, or, do not have an OpenURL link resolver, you can use OCLC's OpenURL Gateway. The base URL for this OpenURL resolver is:
      http://worldcatlibraries.org/registry/gateway
  • openUrlLabel@org.sakaiproject.citation.api.CitationService - the label users see for the OpenURL resolution link to find full-text and other institutional services (i.e. "Find It!", "IU Link", etc.).

Additional Guidelines

  • Your sakai.properties file may define any other Sakai properties (such as database configuration, server identification, etc.)
    • the Sakaibrary-specific properties will not effect other configuration.
    • the Sakaibrary-specific properties are not dependent on other configuration properties.

Sample

  • No labels
