Vu Find 3 Available for Testing

Submitted by Kristine Hammer... on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 12:00am

CARLI staff are pleased to announce that we now have VuFind 3 available for I-Share library staff testing and review. Please see the information below on how to access VuFind 3 and how to send us feedback about it. We look forward to hearing from you!
 
VuFind 3 is significantly different from VuFind 0.6 that is currently in use for I-Share libraries, and should be considered a new system, rather than an upgrade to the version of VuFind now in use with I-Share.

UIUC DNS Outage Today (April 4th)

Submitted by bgant on Fri, 04/04/2014 - 6:03pm

The UIUC Domain Name Service (DNS) went offline at approximately 3:06PM today and campus networking staff report that it was brought back online at 3:42PM. The DNS service translates human-friendly names (i.e. voyager.carli.illinois.edu) into computer-friendly addresses (i.e. 192.17.55.247).

Without this service, some CARLI servers are unable to lookup addresses so that they can talk to other CARLI servers. The campus Voice-over-IP phone service also was impacted by this outage which resulted in busy signals when calling our office.

New Format Facets in VuFind Local Catalogs

Submitted by mchamber on Thu, 08/22/2013 - 3:34pm

CARLI has completed reindexing of all VuFind local catalogs. The reindexing takes advantage of new data elements in RDA catalog records, and also of some previously unexploited data elements in AACR2 and older catalog records. We expect a new index for the I-Share union catalog to be ready within the next few days.

Discovery Layer webinar series, 2013

In the spring of 2013 the I-Share Users' Group's OPAC Team hosted a series of four webinars at which I-Share libraries shared their experiences with discovery layer software they had implemented.

Options for Configuring Links from SILC to I-Share OPACs

Background

This document explores issues regarding the relationship between the SILC catalog and I-Share. After performing a search in SILC, users get a list of results. Each title in the result set lists libraries that own a copy. From the list of libraries that own copies, users can click on a link that leads to a particular library catalog. (This link is configurable.) When the holding library is an I-Share library the link by default leads to the individual library's local catalog, not to the IShare union catalog.
