Encore plus “Classic” WebPAC Pro – they complement each other. Encore is for exploring and focusing on the fly, Classic is for when you know what you want or are a power user who plans and pre-limits searches. Beautiful dropdown on MSU library home page:
Keyword – Beta Search
Keyword – Classic
Title
Author
Publication Title
Reserve Course
Reserve Instructor
Keep accessible documentation of circ parameters and tables, when, what changed, why, who changed it. Sounds like it could live in a staff wiki.
Singe Signon – we could do it. If not, can go with LDAP so we at least go with same username / password as the rest, even if it keeps bugging for login.
Blackboard Building Block – WOOHOO! Go into course reserves by course. No reauthenticating there (unless linking out to a database, no EZProxy). Would still sit out in regular course reserves, though.
Offline circ for no connection to server.
From the wonderful folks at Virginia Tech who brought us LibX, MAJAX! Screenscrapes MARC records in WebPAC and lets you reformat display in Harvard citation style (will program others if you request) and show real-time status info. Works in any web page in the same domain as your Millennium. May not do it for LibGuides – our libraryguides.quinnipiac.edu is a redirect. Google Book Classes – fancy linking from WebPAC to whatever Google Books has.
