You have two choices: you can either use libx.org's default homepage for your edition (once an edition is live.), or you can create your own. Note that the default homepage will contain your icon/logo, not Virginia Tech's.
You do not need to make this decision now. Once your edition is live, you can switch the actual location of your homepage via a redirect in the My Editions tab, even without rebuilding the edition.
For editions you create from scratch, we place this link as a suggestion. Most existing editions have this link. We provide this button for you to recreate the link if you prefer necessary.
You can search across all published packages maintained on this server using this box.
A general request: Our goal is to produce software that works flawlessly. We look at our logs and fix any problems we see, but not all problems are logged. So if something doesn't work, complain! Send email or use the "Help Me" feature.

We are updating the edition builder in preparation for the LibX 2.0 release.
The button "Upgrade to LibX 2.0" is hot, so be careful.

Maintenance update: layout bugs (cut-off text, etc.) that were introduced
with ZK update should be fixed.
2011/3/31:
Minor maintenance update. Completed Primo support.
Made auto-detection based on OCLC working again.
Fixed UTF8-related bug - diacritics should now work again.
2010/8/5:
Major maintenance update. Update to ZK 5.0 CE, a more recent version of ZK.
Better support for resizing the browser window. Support for Primo and Summon.
Auto-detect Bookmarklet for VUfind.
Can now search by catalog name in auto-detect box, not just URL.
Remove 3Dish boxes for cleaner and easier-to-maintain design.
2010/2/11:
Changed Searchbox in "All Editions" Tab to support searching by
either edition id or description.
2009/2/6:
Fixed OCLC Worldcat registry - IP autodetection and Worldcat Registry Search should work again.
2008/10/24:
Implemented support for Talis Prism 2.x catalogs.
2008/10/22:
Implemented support for Voyager 7.0 catalogs.
2008/10/04:
Implemented support Evergreen, Worldcat, and Vubis catalogs.
Improved auto-detection by adding support for cookies (edition builder now
accepts and presents cookies --- but keep in mind that during auto-detection,
the edition builder is seen as a Virginia Tech user)
2008/06/13:
Implemented preferences for context menu.
2008/06/07:
Internally updated to ZK framework 3.0.5.
Added "Cue Management" tab. The JavaScript code to support this tab's functionality
has not been released, however.
Various minor cosmetic fixes and added consistency checks.
2008/04/30:
Add option to bundle auxiliary DLLs into LibX IE Installer.
Please use only if truly needed, since every build will take up
several MB on our server.
2008/04/27:
Fixed options settings for Millennium -- you should now be able
to use all indices as configured by your system
by providing their code (e.g., 'm', 'd', etc.).
2008/04/25:
New Beta of LibX IE - cues should work now, except for auto-linking.
Fixed broken LibX IE update feature.
2008/03/20:
Fixed broken layout when long URLs are probed.
Implemented secure updates for FX3 and marked LibX as compatible with it.
Tested on XP, Vista, Linux. Has layout issues on MacOSX, to be addressed.
Starting FX3 while old version is installed triggers Bug 424107 in FF 3.0b4. Firefox developers say this is a blocking bug, so it should be fixed before FX3 final.
2008/03/19:
2008/03/11:
Added support for POST for Bookmarklets.
Added ability to detect Sirsi 'path' parameter. Fixed crash that occurred when Open Search descriptions included embedded image data.
2008/02/29:
2008/02/10:
Augmented edition consistency check. A frequent mistake appears to be for
people to not configure any catalogs. Show a warning when that happens.

tab. Added stronger warning to not make editions public until they are ready.
2008/02/07:

Support for a cue icon setting separate from edition icon.
Support for per-catalog icons.
2008/02/01:

indication of progress. Keep in mind that auto-detection is still
only a
heuristics.

Added more consistency checks for catalogs.
For instance, if the edition builder detects the URL will not work,
a warning will appear.
