Access PA /
Auto-Graphics
Password Change is Coming Soon!
The password change will occur on August 13.
This is the password you will need to: 
  • Set up Access PA as a Z39.50 search in your ILS to download MARC records
  • Upload your .MRC file to the Auto-Graphics Cloud for your holdings updates
  • Set up your ILLiad IOS connection to SHAREit
Please note that this is not your SHAREit login. 
Due to the sensitive nature of this password, we do not share it openly with participants in mass communication. After August 13, if you need the password, please contact support.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is also important to note that once the password is changed (and your saved one is no longer valid), you will not receive an error message. Rather, you will simply receive no results from Access PA's SHAREit database. Further, all communication between SHAREit and ILLiad/Tipasa will also not occur — you won't get an error message, there will just be no data sent to your ILL interface.

Important SHAREit Holiday Mode & Lending Strings Notice!
SHAREit is now erring on the side of potential fulfillment,
rather than outrightly skipping the lender.
It used to be that if a library was in Holiday Mode, no lender requests would show up in your Request Manager during the closure period. 
 
With recent changes to the lender list build process, SHAREit now determines that if the library’s Holiday Mode period will end with at least ONE DAY left in the “days to respond” to respond to a request, it will still send that request to them — SHAREit is now erring on the side of potential fulfillment, rather than outrightly skipping the lender.
 
Add to that a second change - SHAREit now counts the first full day AFTER the request is put in the lender’s Pending file as “Day One” — it used to count “Day One” as the day the request arrived, even if it was 8PM. 
 
NOTE: The default “Days to respond” for the cooperative is FOUR days EXCLUDING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. 
 
So it’s now possible that a loan request will show up in your Request Manager even while your library is in Holiday Mode. Further, this could potentially happen several days before your Holiday Mode end date. 
 
This does not mean you are expected to fill the request while you are in Holiday Mode!
 
Further, you do not need to make any changes to your workflow as far as responding to those requests; all the old rules and best practices remain the same.

Are You Prompted for a Library Card or E-Card Number When Inside Your Institution?
We can fix this issue!
Your POWER Library support team at HSLC maintains an I.P. database to which all I.P. addresses must be included for users inside your institutions to successfully access POWER Library E-Resources. 
 
If you are prompted for a library card number or E-Card number when inside your institution, we can help you resolve that issue.
 
To expedite the resolution of this issue for your institution, please ask your technology staff to provide you with all the available external I.P. addresses in use at your institution and send that list to HSLC support.
