Voyager and Illiad interfaces
Why Need for a consistent, usable interface Multiple library technology products with different
interfaces Library web pages Voyager Illiad Encompass SFX Databases
![Page 6: River Campus Libraries Creating Usable User Interfaces (with Voyager, Encompass, and SFX) David Lindahl Director of Digital Library Initiatives dlindahl@library.rochester.edu](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d385503460f94a111d8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Voyager and Illiad interfaces
What: Voyager (WebVoyage) customization Instancing – address shared catalog issue CSS and HTML editing
Header.htm Footer.htm Configuration files Opac.ini
Trial and error Examples
Hide the ‘Reset’ button Replace graphics with standard text links
Demo

Voyager and Illiad interfaces
What: Illiad Customization Instancing – address shared interlibrary loan
issue CSS and HTML editing
Embedded variables Managing sets of files
Trial and error Example
OpenURL page customization Demo

DVDs and Videos
Why Not browse-able Common queries were for specific titles, genres
and directors Voyager (WebVoyage) just didn’t cut it
Cumbersome limits page to work through Customized metadata display on results screen Integration with website
UC Berkeley example

DVDs and Videos
What Web interface for searching and browsing DVD
and Videos collection Fully automated system Maintain data in Voyager Allow users to search by keyword, and browse by
title, genre, and director Demo

How Record cleanup in Voyager Scheduled PERL script

Federated Search (Find Articles)
Why Meet expectations Difficulty selecting databases and
subjects Support a no knowledge needed
pathway

Why Cumbersome Voyager Course Reserves interface
Difficulty finding reserves Subject guides not effective

Course Clusters
Why Need for a find articles capability that both
requires no database knowledge, and uses appropriate, targeted databases
Course pages working Top 10 webpage on library site Undergraduates identify their librarian Used by undergraduates as subject guide
replacements
