How to connect from
off-campus
Millennium software for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux is downloaded from CSDirect. Contact your Millennium Coordinator for the username and password. If your Millennium Coordinator is not available, email Innopac-SysAdmin.
Step 1: Download the appropriate Millennium client for your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) from the CSDirect downloads page to your desktop. Click on the link for the most current client available for the release we're on.
Windows users: At the time of this writing, we are running Release 2007, so milup160_02.exe is the latest Millennium environment.
Mac users: At the time of this writing, we are running Release 2007, so milup150_06.exe is the latest Millennium environment.
Step 2: When the pop-up window appears, click the Save File button. Save the file to the desktop.
Step 3: Close all programs before installing Millennium.
Step 4: Double-click on the milup icon.
Windows users: If you get a security warning ("The publisher could not be verified..."), click the Run button. Wait until the "Install Anywhere" routine has finished loading.
Mac users: After double-clicking on the milup icon, double-click the install icon.
Step 5: At the Introduction screen, click the Next button.

Step 6: At the Choose Shortcut Folder screen (Mac users, you'll see a Choose Alias Folder screen), click the radio button where you would like the Millennium icon to appear. If you are installing Millennium for the first time, or if you don't have much experience installing software, click the radio button next to On the Desktop, then click the Next button.

Step 7: At the Specify Millennium Server screen, type the following into the Server domain name/IP address field: catalog-lib.dartmouth.edu. NOTE: Always use hostnames to connect to the Millennium server. We do not guarantee long-term stability of IP addresses.

Step 8: Review the information on the Pre-Installation screen, making sure the server name has been spelled correctly. (If the server name is not correct, click the Cancel button. You will need to start over at Step 4.) If the information is correct, click the Install button.

Step 9: The Installing Innovative Millennium screen shows installation progress and can be ignored. When the Install Complete screen appears, click the Done button to exit the installer.

Step 10: Delete any of the following files from your desktop, as you no longer need them: milup.exe, milup.zip, the Millennium install icon, or the Innovative_Millennium_InstallLog files from your desktop.
Step 11: Check your installation! Double-click the Millennium icon, log in, and perform a basic function (for example, search for a title).
Remember: If you have any difficulty installing Millennium, contact the Millennium Coordinators assigned to your department.
