Page 56: Introduction

Communication

• Librarians create the data and tell the system about it through content types, taxonomy, roles associated.

Page 57: Introduction

Communication

• Librarians create the data and tell the system about it through content types, taxonomy, roles associated.

• The student asks the system for what s/he needs.

Page 58: Introduction

Communication

• Librarians create the data and tell the system about it through content types, taxonomy, roles associated.

• The student asks the system for what s/he needs.

• The system delivers data based on what the content creators have educated them about.

Page 59: Introduction

More features

• Other modules:– SOPAC–MARC– EZProxy– LDAP– Biblio– Bookmarks– Fivestar rating– Google Analytics
