Baptiste Montoya: questions to open-ils-general list 2011-10-02
I currently have a comparison table between the 4 ILS, but i need further information about the future of Evergreen (i mean, short to middle term ideas to implement).
I'm looking for someone who can answer 8 questions about some web3 features (without surprise, Most of these features do not exist in current versions of the other ILS tested).
Here are the questions :
- Will it be possible to Evergreen to allow the user to access comments from other readers of other libraries or connected via a social network, during his navigation ? - Will Evergreen be able to recommend other records to a reader, depending on previous loans of the reader, or based on loans related to other anonymous readers. Will it incorporate FRBR to offer other multimedia editions of the work ? - Can Evergreen provide a single interface, fully integrated in the existin= g websites, providing search capabilities on the site of the institution and in the databases subscribed (federated search). - Can Evergreen offer multiple interfaces based on audience profiles to adjust the results and the interface. For example children, or persons with disabilities ? - Shall the ILS=92s interface be displayed on a mobile device according to ergonomics concerns ? Shall it be carried in a mobile version, and in iOS, Android and - maybe - Meego applications ? - Can Evergreen provide not only access to records of documents available i= n the libraries of the network, but also to digital documents in the library, scanned by it, or that it holds the rights via a subscription ? - Is Evergreen able to index federate alternative sources of information ? = I mean, the indexing of databases must be done ahead to provide a fast response time (I exclude OAI) - Can Evergreen ensure the supply of native metadata to search engines to allow a useful and effective referencing ?
