Hi all - UPEI has created an easily customizable component to change
what fields are displayed in the detail view. Our programmer Alexander
(CC'd here) made the code changes, so I will let him describe what he
did. You can see examples by searching our Evergreen OPAC:
http://islandpines.roblib.upei.ca/
Try "whales" and you can also see with the first hit the Google
preview function. I suspect our new RefWorks link will only work if
you are at UPEI, but you can try that as well. Alex may also want to
describe how he does that. We have also made the subjects headings
display in the detail view as a cascading link, but you need to hover
to see they are links - style guides...bad. I can't remember which
other fields are displayed but Alex can clarify. I'm also not clear on
the code (it was done to our specs), but I suspect it would need to be
changed a bit to be contributed back to the base, which we would be
happy to do.

I am writing to see if there is interest among Evergreen libraries
in sharing in the cost of an enhancement to the OPAC display.
Currently, Evergreen is searchable by "Series," but the series
information does not display in the OPAC view. Our libraries are
interested in seeing the 440, 490, and 830 subfield a and subfield v
information displayed so that patrons can see the series number for
a specific title.
Equinox has given us a quote of $4,200-$7,000 to do the programming
for this enhancement request. If any Evergreen libraries would be
willing to share in the cost of this enhancement, please contact me.
Also, if any of you are currently in the process of developing this
enhancement on your own, please let me know that as well.
Thanks! Ruth
