2. Overview Two features of MLibrary web site: Summon LibGuides Credit where credit is due All development work I’m talking about done by Albert Bertram in Library Web Systems Lots of library staff worked on interfaces, design, and project
4. Summon in Drupal MLibrary signed up with Summon in July 2010 Launched our interface 9/27/2010 Like Summon’s hosted tool, anyone can search through our interface UM authentication needed for full text Full text links are OpenURLs
5. Why? Loved Summon, but wanted to keep our users “here” until full-text Integrate article discovery into site Provide other services around article discovery Opportunity to learn about our user’s needs and behaviors
6. What It Does Replicates most functionality of Summon’s hosted site Facets Citations One-click links to full text (where available) 360 Link is resolver Each citation has a permalink for bookmarking/sharing
11. About the Module Developed by Albert Bertram at UM Library Development time about 10 weeks Module submitted to Drupal in December 2010 – working through the review process Requires Summon API key to run
13. About our Site Search We use Solr (Apache Solr modules) Apache Solr framework Apache Solr search Rely on LibGuides’ XML export option Get a weekly dump of all our guides Add to Solr index Include in site search and site browse results
17. How Browse Works Guides are tagged (in LibGuides) with taxonomy Presented as title and description on site Generally (by policy) there are only 1-2 guides per browse category more at highest level of taxonomy fewer at lower levels
