I got a response from BookManager support: "There are a couple of ways to update the bookshelf. One is to use the S helf Organizer tool that comes with Softcopy Reader. Once you have it configured, you can display a bookshelf and then add books to it. Once the bookshelf is complete, you could then use Soft copy Librarian to manage it. You could also do this with either BookManager READ/MVS or Library S erver products, if you have those products installed and configured on z/OS.
You can also use BookManager READ/MVS to create an index for the bookshel f. If you have installed BookManager READ/MVS and have it available as an ISPF option, t here should be a separate option for the Bookshelf Index Creation utility. You can also d o this using Library Server. This is done from the Administration page, in the Modify Shelf selection. You can also use the Index Utility for Windows that can be downloaded from our BookManager web -site, but it does not currently work with Windows XP SP2." (I suspect Bank of America does have these MVS tools somewhere. Rumor has it that we have at least 2 of everything.) I also got a response from Ken Davis of IBM z/VM Information Development: "To help customers such as yourself add these updated z/VM V5.2 books int o their softcopy libraries, we are going to do the initial CD processing that will pick up the updated editions and create updated BKS and BKI files. (However, we will not create a new CD.) We hope to have this processing completed in about two weeks. I will send you a note to let yo u know when the files are ready." I like the second answer better!
