[ipac] External link to New Titles (dynix backend)

[Ed Moeller]

Helen,

To link to individual lists, you need to use the URI, e.g.:
http://tafecat.tafensw.edu.au/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=alb&uri=link=1000001~!BSL.90UF~!1100002~!1100069

Fiona,

Have you tried eliminating the &ts parameter? No need for a time stamp on
an external link. E.g.:
http://ipac.lib.swin.edu.au/ipac20/ipac.jsp?&profile=external&menu={BSL=New%20Titles%20added%20last%20month}

> Hope this helps. Let us know if you do find a solution!
