1. WebLUIS Command Options Introduction

The WebLUIS Command Options list the available commands and appear to the right of the WebLUIS screen display. These commands include navigation commands and special features commands. The choices in the WebLUIS Command Options vary according to which commands are applicable to the screen that is currently being displayed.

2. Navigation Commands

Navigation commands allow you to navigate from screen displays to screen displays. They also allow you to navigate between different views of a record.

Navigation commands include:

COMMAND	RESULT
Results List	displays LUIS index screen (a list of records)
Technical View	displays the full record in MARC format
Results Guide	displays guide screen
Results Headings	displays the headings screen
Long View	returns to the full record from At Any SUS Lib? or At Your Library? displays

3. Special Features Commands

Special features commands allow to take advantage of additional WebLUIS functionality. For example, you may want to email your search results; search for your items at other State University System library locations; and review your search statements.

Special features commands include:

COMMAND	RESULT
At Your Library?	displays libraries (within the university database currently being searched) that own an item and displays item's location(s) and Call Number(s)
At Any SUS Library?	displays all State University System of Florida libraries that own an item and displays item's location(s) and Call Number(s)
Set Your Home Library	set your home library catalog as any institution available in the display list - most useful when using a PC that does not have an IP address associated with a Florida SUS University; the See Your Home Library command will reflect the institution set; these parameters are in effect from the time the Set Your Home Library command is entered until the next RESTART is issued
History	displays your most recent searches as search sets (you may repeat, revise, combine or modify them in a new search statement)
Last Search	displays your last search in the previously used search screen (you may revise your search statement in the input box)
Mark ALL on Page	marks all records appearing on the WebLUIS screen in your browser
Unmark ALL	unmarks any records previously marked; a message telling you that all records are unmarked will display to confirm this command

4. Commands Displaying Additional Screens

There are many commands that result in the display of additional screens. Some of these screens may require additional information. After submitting these commands, WebLUIS will display a screen from which you set appropriate values and/or enter info rmation. These commands may be selected from the Command Options, from the toolbars, or from the record displays.

From the Options Box

Many commands require additional information. These commands include:

COMMAND	RESULT
Email Marked	After marking records, you must select the Email Marked command from the Command Options. A new screen display will appear. You will first set the format of the record(s) you would like to send (brief, long, technical). Then you must enter your complete email address (jdoe@sus.edu). You may enhance your email by changing the Subject line and/or adding an Optional Note. Press the SEND button. A message box appears telling you how many records were sent. Records remain MARKed until you click the UNmark ALL command.
Print Marked	After marking records, you must select the Print Marked command from the Command Options. A new screen will appear. You will first set the format of the record(s) as you would like them printed or saved (brief, long, technical). When you press the Submit button a new screen will appear displaying your records in the format you requested. Records remain MARKed until you click the UNmark ALL command. To print, use your browser's print function at this time. If you would like to save your records, use your browser's "Save as" function to download your record(s). Your record will be saved in HTML format. Return to your search results by clicking the red return arrow at the top of the page.
ILL Request	If your home institution does not own an item, you may request the item from your home institution's Interlibrary Loan. You must have your 14-digit library card number to begin the request process. Note that you should have Java and JavaScript enabled on your browser for this function to properly process. The first screen that appears after choosing ILL Request will prompt you for your 14-digit library card number. After entering your library card number, a screen will display requiring you to enter more information. Your current home address, phone number, and email address will display and you may edit this information (however, this will not update your institution's library or registrar's office information). You may want to enter your current email in the proper field. This allows the system to send you a copy of your request via email. Then you will be prompted for some information about the requested item. If you chose the ILL Request command from a record, this information may be partially filled in. You may need to fill in other required fields. Required fields are clearly marked. Your request cannot be processed without these fields. Required fields include: a service fee you are willing to pay (most institutions do not charge, you may enter free), a delivery location, and copyright statement. After pressing the SUBMIT button, you will return to your previous screen (either an item record or the first ILL Request screen). A message informing you that the request has been sent will display. Click OK. You may read your home institution's Interlibrary Loan policies at any time by clicking on the "Library ILL Policies" toward the bottom of the display.

From Toolbars

Some commands are available from the WebLUIS Toolbar(s). These commands include:

COMMAND	RESULT
Restart	returns to the WebLUIS main page, clearing your search history and email address (if entered)
Change Databases	returns to the WebLUIS main page without clearing your search history and email address (if entered)
History	displays your most recent searches as search sets (you may repeat, revise, combine or modify them in a new search statement)
