Library Server and IBM BookServer - how do they relate? With Library Server, the traditional IBM BookServer user interface, which provides access to all the Bookcases, shelves and documents defined in the BookServer Library, is still available.

Library Server extends the functionality of BookServer, and has a new end user interface based on one or more configured LibraryCenters. A LibraryCenter is a customizable template-based view of a Bookcase, which also provides access to the traditional BookServer Library interface. For more information, see LibraryCenters. |
