WEBOPAC |
| WEBOPAC |
| The C2 Web OPAC enables users to access the C2 database through a web browser. The functionality is similar to the OPAC module. Users can use the simple or expert search to retrieve information and reserve items. They are also able to view their own borrower records. |
| Intranet & Internet |
| The WEBOPAC is accessible both through an intranet and the internet. Staff can obtain useful statistics about what users have been searching on and how many times the WEBOPAC has been accessed etc. |
| Search Options |
| Simple Search – Enter
the text to search by and select the field in which to complete the
search.
Expert Search – Allows users to restrict searches to one entry type, select which branch to search in and include boolean operators across multiple fields. C2 Web OPAC also keeps a list of previous searches within a session. |
| Retrieved Information |
| Search results are displayed in sets of five records. Clicking on a record displays record details, including location details. Users are able to reserve items and use bibliographic details to search for similar records using the navigation functionality. |
| Dynamic Hypertext Navigation |
| When viewing bibliographic records, users are able to select text within records and use them to continue to search through the database. This approach enables users to move forward, sideways or even backwards when searching for information. Selected words are automatically placed into a new search. |
| Customisable HTML |
| The html is fully customisable by the library to include images and information pertinent to the library. |
