In addition to this web-based OPAC, there continues to be an integration of browser functionality resulting in a look and feel of the customized browser experience. There is nothing not to like about one positive result of this particular ILS corporate merger, the Kid s Catalog Web that now lets local libraries enhance their Kid s Catalogs with links to external web resources using the WebBuilder software. TLC calls its personalized OPAC design YouSeeMore, and indeed you can see more, including your local weather, book reviews, access to Encyclopaedia Britannica, and to any Z39.50 library catalog. This is a new product, with promise of many more features to come. Innovative Interfaces reports that with both cataloging and ILL modules in beta, their Millennium integrated library system is complete.
Patrons can pay their fines and other charges using credit cards through their web browsers.
Innovative is also developing a product called WebCrawler in a joint project with Michigan State University. The presentation is visually stunning. Some of the content for iBistro comes through recent alliances formed with netLibrary, Syndetic Solutions, Inc , Cahner's Business Information , and Northern Light Technology, Inc . Cahners provides book reviews from PW, LJ and School Library Journal. The bibliographic service is being marketed under the name SiteSource.
