Hi all (but mostly Hi folks running Voyager),
I'm happy to announce the release of the Related Items Bookshelf,
a virtual shelf browsing tool designed for easy installation into
the Voyager OPAC. "So easy, a caveman without a dedicated library
sysadmin can do it." Like the great projects demoed by NCSU and
Stanford last month in Asheville, it embeds into the OPAC item
page and allows the user to scroll through a display of items with
proximate call numbers. The key difference is using Voyager's web
service APIs rather than a separate DB or SOLR index, trading
control over the relationship logic for a smaller installation
footprint. The client side is a standards-based mix of CSS,
JQuery and a modified YUI carousel widget.
You can see it in action on the bottom of any item page with an LC
call number in our OPAC [1]. Full details on the functionality,
design, and known issues are available on Ex Libris CodeShare and
on the project website [2].
Thanks,
Maccabee
