All,
I thought others may be interested in some of the new functions of my catalog here at the American University of Rome. Actually, it's only the interface that has changed, but I think it is much improved. It is based on Koha 2.2.7 with several changes.
Go to: http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl
and here you can search the catalog, plus you can see many other tools I have created. But, if you search something, e.g.
http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=2507
You can now select text from the record and use it to search other databases. Select the text, and a box pops up that you can click on. Continue from there and I think it's fairly self-explanatory. There are also many help links available.
My earlier version of this functioned but was much more complex. This simplifies the "information architecture" tremendously.
I am still writing some help screens. And an overview of the tool is in my Wiki at: http://aurlibrary.wetpaint.com/page/Extending+the+Search?t=anon
