Description
This extension to the Aleph OPAC provides links from the full record display to other related material on the catalogue. Links to other editions of the work are shown, as well as Amazon-style "people who borrowed this also borrowed..." type links based on the usage of the collections. Subject headings and classification numbers attached to the MARC records are also exploited to provide links to books on closely related subjects.
