Thank you, everyone, for the feedback! So, what I'm hearing is that COiNS in the search results is definitely a feature worth keeping, as lots of folks are making use of it with tools like Zotero. Good to know.
I'm half-way through writing a patch that will add a system preference so you can choose whether you want to continue to use COiNS on the OPAC search results page (will not affect any other page, like opac-details.pl), or remove them in favour of a faster search. The default value will be "Use", so the default behaviour will remain the same. More choices = more power to the user! -Ian On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 6:09 AM, Elaine Bradtke <[email protected]> wrote: > We also encourage our patrons to use Zotero.
