Nifty Tricks and Scripts from Andornot
I just had an excellent WebEx session and conversation with Kathy Bryce at Andornot Information Management Solutions. Andornot is offering free 30 minute consultations for clients until January 31, 2007 and I wanted to take advantage of it to learn a little about how to set up subject browsing for a new project I’m working on.
It never ceases to amaze me how much cool stuff you can do with Inmagic’s WebpublisherPRO, and Andornot is always finding innovative ways to make the software even better than it already is.
Kathy showed me two really nifty things:
1) Index pop-ups with dynamic query modification (find matches as you type) — check out Imagine Canada’s opac and click on the A-Z buttons for Author and Subjects — so slick!
2) Andornot Search Cannery (canned search generator) — this is going to save me hours of headache and confusion! Using this tool, it’s a lot easier to see how a canned query is assembled.
Kathy tells me we can tentatively look forward to a February Inmagic Users meeting, where they hope to demonstrate some new ways of generating and incorporating RSS into your catalogues/webpages. Can’t wait!
