iSearch Update

• iSearch is the name being used for the next generation of the Cat/CatJR OPAC

• Test drive

ISearch Local – Next Steps • Three original pilot sites will “go live” first

“Go Live” means if logged in or IP detected as that district, an ISearch widget on the INFOhio website will automatically offer a dropdown for building/district profile selection.

– Hudson, Shaker Heights, and Paulding – Hudson and Shaker ISearch will include eResource

Central support of their Overdrive subscription, which is a premium service.

February 25, 2015 INFOhio - What’s new Wednesday 27

ISearch Local – User Access • Districts/Schools will be able to place ISearch

widget on library web pages • “All Libraries” in that district will be available

by default. In addition, individual libraries can also be defined.

• INFOhio will be not able to identify visitors to the INFOhio website down to the building level, so like the CAT widget, a dropdown will need be used.

INFOhio - What’s new Wednesday

ISearch – Scheduling Challenges

• Scalability – its all in the platform – Current platform vs. BLUEcloud – Very similar in construction of the OPAC that

comes with BLUEcloud platform, how much work is to be done now only to have to redo the same work in the next 12 months?

• Scripts by SirsiDynix – Start walking now or wait for the bicycle – Workflow time for each instance with scripts February 25, 2015 30

INFOhio - What’s new Wednesday

ISearch Local – Moving on • Do what we know to do

– Collect ITC data as soon as possible – Begin manually configuring Symphony instances – Configure one ITC at a time

• Plan around the scheduling challenges – Create 6 or so ITC groupings with minimal library

code duplication – Get scripts, test them, do time-study

• Keep tracking the Enterprise to BLUEcloud migration schedule
