Music Center 2.0 release
Date: July 13, 2022
The content and features in the OhioLINK Music Center 2.0 will not change significantly with this platform change. It is primarily an update to the underlying technology.
- Users will see an updated UI that is in the OhioLINK "family" of local platforms, similiar to the EJC and ETD Center.
- Users will be able to authenticate to Music Center either on-campus through an institutional IP address, or off-campus through a proxy. If your library uses EZproxy, please install the Music Center stanza from the OhioLINK Platform EZproxy Information page.
- The Music Center base URL is unchanged and remains https://music.ohiolink.edu/
- Old "handle" URLs such as "hdl.handle.net/2374.MUSIC/19557" from the legacy Music Center will no longer work. (OhioLINK does not control the "handle" URL system.) As such, we have updated the Music Center items to use RAVE URLs.
- OhioLINK will update the affected Central Catalog records on July 13th with the new RAVE URLs for Music Center items. The RAVE URL syntax for Music Center items is:
https://rave.ohiolink.edu/music/item/NNNNN
where NNNNN is the unique item number at the end of the handle URL.
Example:
Legacy URL: "hdl.handle.net/2374.MUSIC/19557"
New RAVE URL: https://rave.ohiolink.edu/music/item/19557
- The initial release does not include usage statistics. A later release will include COUNTER 5 compliant usage statistics. The new usage statistics will be available in the Member Portal.
- Music Center 2.0 no longer includes an OAI-PMH feed.
Flash Player Replacement
On December 17, 2020 we will replace the Flash player with a new streaming player. The functionality of the new player is slightly different. It does not require a browser plug in.
