LibX Upcoming Features

There are a variety of new features in the current 1.1 version.
  • We included autolinking functionality for ISBNs and other identifiers, based on Jesse Ruderman's autolink GM script. If a page includes identifiers such as ISBNs, these are now automatically hyperlinked to the catalog (or to xISBN if so configured.)

  • More catalogs are supported: CentralSearch, and SFX's and SerSol's A-Z List

  • We have added new cues, such as on globalbooksinprint.com. We fixed some existing cues, such as to accommodate the New York Times's new layout.

  • We have added support for searching multiple catalogs. For each catalog, you can specify what search options should be displayed (Keyword, Title, Subject, etc.)

  • III's WAM support has now been tested and found to work. If a user selects a page that is not in the WAM database, a customized error message is shown.
