Location of Original Help Files

The original text version of the Help > Getting Started and Help > Procedure Manual can be located in the AmlibSIP2/HelpDocs folder on the Amlib server. These files may be customised to incorporate information specific to your institution and then linked to the Amlib SIP2 Manager client.

SIP2ProcedureManual.doc
