- WebOPAC Enhancements: Thumbnails and Document Indexing
Holley Long, Digital Initiatives Librarian, University of Colorado
At CU Boulder, patrons come to our WebOPACs with expectations for an Amazon or Google experience. Libraries can enhance their catalogs using tools like Innovative's thumbnails and document indexing products to meet this demand. This presentation will describe how UC-Boulder is using these products to add a thumbnail of the table of contents, as well as ToC keyword searching, for two collections. Attendees will learn how to use the thumbnails and document indexing products and will explore other ways these products can be applied to enhance their catalogs.
