OPAC Tips & Tricks

Glenn Peterson from engagedpatrons.org started out this presentation with template that read "Libraries Change Lives Through Lifelong Learning" - I LOVE IT!!

One of the things that we do at our library and is a pet peeve of mine when other libraries don't is integrating the catalog into the website. This is not an easy task given the inadequate tools our ILS vendors provide to work with the pages - but it's well worth taking the time to implement. Glenn mentioned that this will increase the user's experience (and I agree) and will save the user's time - if you catalog is a separate template than it's not easy for the users to get to other library resources while in the catalog - by integrating everything you make all of your resources available from everywhere.
