• Demonstrations
JIBS 2008
Why Aquabrowser?
• Ease of implementation• Speed of implementation• Reasonably priced• Flexibility• Usability and Accessibility
JIBS 2008
Implementation
• Pilot– Available remotely
• Technical Issues– Windows Servers– LMS nightly extract
• Building a wish List (Interface Requirements)– Existing Catalogue– Other AquaBrowser sites– Other supplier services
JIBS 2008
Wish List
• Aspects of existing catalogue to be reflected
• How to link to features in existing catalogue, not in Aquabrowser– e.g. patron functions
• Which Aquabrowser functionality to implement
JIBS 2008
Timescales for Implementation

Maximising MARC
• Opportunity to fully leverage our existing MARC data
• Return on investment for many years of sourcing/creating high quality metadata
• Opportunity to re-consider both current and legacy cataloguing practices
• New view of the underlying MARC data – incl. errors
JIBS 2008
Initial set-up
• Fresh approach – not opac replication• Critically reviewed implementations of
AquaBrowser pioneers• Determined initial data handling approach:
– MARC mapping/field handling– Locations (“branches”)– Refine facets– Occurrence/labelling of fields in results displays
