API gives the greatest flexibility to provide the interface your patrons want You can explore your own innovative ideas Lower cost (with important exceptions)
3
Started about two years ago, first Aleph x-server script About one year ago, WorldCat API introduced Feb 2009 IDS Search team formed o IDS Search based on WorldCat API Fall 2009, scripts re-written o new "framework" works with both Aleph x-server and WorldCat API o X-server and IDS Search started separately, but are merging into single framework (still looking for a nice brand name)
4
Web Services Librarian & Jack of all Trades Embedded the Xserver catalog into a development version of the library website Surveyed the library for feedback Created a stand alone version of the catalog Surveyed the campus for feedback

tag cloud, google preview, words in description link to catalog, rss feed (which students won't understand but I liked) The TAG CLOUD - re-invents the ability to "browse" for relevant subjects Like the pictures of books along with the abstract on the first screen, and the subject tags on the side. I would get rid of the Marc record. Overkill for the average Joe. "Sort by" option should be more obvious in my opinion, possibly above the results. If there is a tag cloud is there a way for users to tag items?

readable font and brings to possible other choices. the search engine is pretty useful Good if you know an author and/or title. The graphics were better to look at than the regular one, which are blurry it's a quick one click process Entering in one search field and getting good results. Subject tag cloud. Images of book covers. Easy to sort results. I able to find all of my resources Not much other than it's easy. Large print, colorful, subject cloud on left resembles other dztabases.
7
I like I can find things
8
Not good for subject matter and browsing I was not sure how interpret some of the information -- it confused me and was it useful to the user. Seems like the search was broader and I am not sure how to make the search more narrow. lack of instructions, explanations I have no idea what went wrong when it didn't find what I was looking for. No information about partial matches, despite the search tips. tell us what it is and how it works, plz.
9
It should be clearly linked to on-line resources. No one goes to the library anymore. More journals should be on-line
11
your users stay on your library site can add Meebo chat to the "no-results" page What if your patrons searches bought up the contact information for a subject librarian?
13
Weblog analysis Google Analytics SUNY Cortland user path data
14
Abstract/summary on results page Tag cloud Facets Search form re-populated Google Books previews Spellcheck Citation/bibliography links Direct metadata (author name, subject words) links Search results as RSS feeds OpenURL/COinS (Zotero compatible) Embedded Amazon suggestions/Google Books results Optimized print media CSS
