New Kid-Friendly Interface Style
• Bright colors on every screen
• Fun icons for every menu category
• A-to-Z subject lists
See it online at:http://kids.aclin.org

• Search database by Colorado Education Content Standards
• Links to online resources for educators
Local Database• Metadata is stored in Dublin Core
format and can be updated online using Perl cgi programs (outside the SiteSearch environment)
Local Database• Another Perl program translates the
database to sgml notation nightly
• This sgml data is fed to database builder and becomes part of the SiteSearch environment
Administration Tools• Online data entry forms
• Link verification
• A-to-Z subject lists
• “SetStyle” verb
Statewide Interlibrary Loan• Lending requests are managed by
“VDX” (Virtual Document Exchange) software made by Fretwell-Downing
• The patron’s interface is WebZ
Patrons must log in• A SiteSearch verb uses JDBC to look
up patron’s registration info in the VDX Oracle database
• WebZ’s Access Component is not used
• WebZ runs on our Solaris server, while the Oracle database is housed on an NT
Search for desired materials• After patron has authenticated, a
“request” button appears on the full record display for library materials
Request the book• Patron fills out a form indicating loan
preferences
• Once submitted, the request is transmitted via email from the SiteSearch environment to the VDX environment
View my Active Requests• A SiteSearch gadget makes a JDBC
call to the VDX Oracle database and looks up all active requests for the current user, and displays these in an html table
Blank request forms• Books
• Journal Articles
Pick List• Library staff can view a list of books that
they need to pull from the shelves to fill loan requests
Visions for the Future• Community Information Database
• GIS Integration
