Start URL Template

This template tells the plugin where to find the publisher manifest page for each AU of the journal.

  • In the LOCKSS plugin definer window, click on the NONE beside Starting URL Name template. A new window as shown below would pop up.

  • Select BASE_URL from the combo box and click on ‘Insert Parameter’ button.
  • After the BASE_URL gets inserted, select ‘String Literal’ from the combo box, and click on ‘Insert Parameter’. A new dialog box would pop up and the exact location in which the publisher manifest page lies should be entered there. Save the changes.
    • Example: In this case, the publisher manifest page is ‘manifest.html’ and it its location is http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/VALib/lockss/manifest.html
