There are several ways to provide your OPAC with a spellchecker. This is one way using the Yahoo! webservice. You could hook it up to other spellcheckers like the Google SOAP webservice or Pspell. This example uses the javascript framework of Prototype for DOM manipulation, AJAX call and PHP to handle the communication with the Yahoo! REST webservice. It does require that you register your application with Yahoo! and there is a limit of 5000 requests / day.

This script modifies the files which appear as the Tag Information in the Aleph Cataloguing client so that links are added to the full MARC 21 manuals on the Library of Congress web-site. This makes it easy for the cataloguer to call up the full manual whenever they are in doubt. The script copes correctly with the 006 and 008 field sub-formats, and provides helpful links to the MARC language and country code lists.

This document (11 pages; see "Files" at the head of this page) focuses on how to reduce as much barriers as possible in Aleph OPAC.

Here is a simple jQuery snippet you can use to pull additional data into your full view (or any other files in your catalog).
In this example we use it to query the X-Server to show us the number of additional records linked with the given classification code, and link it. Users can instantly see what's linked without having to click through to the default service menu window.

While Javascript XSS queries are forbidden by default, we use client-side scripting in two ways: piping requests through a cgi proxy script, and using the Yahoo YQL API (returns the SFX response as JSONP-X, which overrides the browser XSS restrictions). This page describes the latter option (YQL).

This service allows you to send a letter or e-mail to a group of Aleph patrons. The service uses the standard Aleph print mechanisms. Patrons may be selected by status, type, expiry date or by local or global block code. The text of the letter is defined in the print template in form_xxx. The letter may include a list of items on loan to the patron. A separate report of the patrons included in the mailing may also be generated.

FindIt is an Aleph record extension script. It's purpose is to offer extended services for items in Aleph. The extended services include maps, openurls to document delivery forms, google book, worldcat.org, books in print, ulrichs, and amazon.com reviews.

Following the development of mobile devices, this is a proposal on how to customize the ALEPH HTML pages to create a simple and light WEB OPAC Interface.

The interface was tested with iPhone and Blackberry devices.

The current development status is "Production" however new developments will happen as "My Library Card" (Book Renew, Hold Requests, etc) is a demand of our users.
