OPAC Enhancer is a daemon written in Perl that sits between Aleph www server and Apache. It can be used to modify requests before they reach the www server and responses before they reach the client (browser).
This Perl script wrapped in a shell script sends Aleph email notices from the server, rather than using the client print daemon. Files are picked up from a library's print directory based on print ID, similar to print daemon functionality. Leftover letters with no email address are left in the print directory, in XML format, with a new print ID, for client pick up.

Earlier this year Bowker released Sydentics Plus which allows the embedding of enhanced data such as tables of contents and summary information without the need for pop-ups.

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.
