Sydetic Solutions Activated

The UofL activated the Syndetic Solutions plug-ins in the catalogue earlier today.

What this means is that when you perform a search (Advanced or Basic Keyword), the resulting titles might display a small picture of the book. When you click on the image, a new frame opens in the OPAC and allows you to browse additional information about the title. Information that you might find includes: abstract/summary, author notes, larger cover image, reviews, and table of contents. The Syndetic Solutions information is available in the aforementioned results lists or at the bibliographic level of a title.

The spell checker feature has yet to be installed.

Once all updates are complete and the bugs worked out, then I will post an announcement about the new features.
