If you plan to create many libraries on a server, create a subdirectory in the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ data directory to store them. Then users can easily locate all available libraries.

To create a database library

1. From the Domino Administrator, choose File - Application - New.

2. Enter a location for the database library (server or local), title, and file name for the library.

3. Select "Show advanced templates" at the bottom of the dialog box.

4. Select the Application Library template (DBLIB4.NTF), and click OK.

If you do not see the template in the list, click the "Template server" arrow, and choose a server that contains the advanced templates from the list.

Note You are automatically listed in the database as a librarian.

You must be a librarian of a database library in order to make other users librarians.

1. If someone other than you created the library, make sure you have Editor or higher access in the library ACL.

2. Make sure that the users to whom you are giving librarian status have at least Author access in the database library ACL.

3. From the Domino Administrator, select the server that holds the database library.

4. On the Files tab, double-click the title of the database library.

5. In the Librarians view, click "Edit Librarians."

6. Type the names of all users who will be librarians, pressing ENTER after each name.

7. Close and save the Librarians document.
