Since some databases are not on the web (CD-ROMs or local software), for those the info URLs are constructed using a behind-the-scenes Vera ID number, since that can happen automatically by the script that creates them. Here's an example:
Beilstein Crossfire: http://libraries.mit.edu/info/vera997
6. TECHNICAL DETAILS (optional reading for those who care):
Info links are created automatically by a script that updates every day, Monday-Friday. The script takes the current day's list of databases in the Filemaker Pro Vera, and creates the file that makes the info links function, as well as this list for the wiki page. Every M-F in the evening, Marion updates the wiki page and uploads the control file to our webserver. If Marion is out, Nicole does the update.
So if there is a new database entered in Vera, it won't have an info link until later in the evening after Marion updates the 2 files.
If you find any problems with an info link, send it to webmaster@libraries.mit.edu and Nicole will work with Rich to see if there is a problem in the script.
