WebPublisher PRO Info-Cart Customization
Crew-Noble is now offering to customize your WebPublisher PRO to include Info-Cart capability. This allows a person who searches a textbase to save items of interest from more than one search. He/she may request/print all of the items selected at one time.
This functionality is demonstrated from these links:
This first link is a search screen where you select the search criteria.

This second link (also found on the above page) has the search criteria embedded.
Table with check boxes to add items to an InfoCart over multiple searches, then send email request.

Genie 3.4 Released
Inmagic has released Genie 3.4, a component of its DB/Text Library Suite, the company’s Web-based integrated library system (ILS) platform. It is available at no additional charge to all Genie customers on active maintenance.
Look for enhancements including MARC import/edit/export, batch modify and delete, separate loan terms for staff and end-users, as well as features to enable display of loan information in Presto for Social Libraries!
DB/Text Library Suite is composed of three of Inmagic’s industry-leading library and special collections management technologies:
- Genie, a Web-based ILS that manages and provides timely, relevant access to traditional and non-traditional library materials;
- DB/Text Works, a specialized database and text retrieval system, which can efficiently organize nearly any type of digital information—resulting in a central knowledge repository that’s accessible to all constituents; and
- DB/Text Web Publisher Pro, DB/Text Library Suite’s Web publishing system, which offers users a single platform for information publishing needs, without requiring knowledge of HTML, XML or other programming technology.
Alternate Search Syntax for WebPublisherPRO
Although it's not that new (it was introduced in v.10), are you aware of the (optional) "Google-like" alternate search syntax for WebPublisherPRO? For example, Computer Software will find records with Computer and Software (both must be there) anywhere in the field. Computer OR Software will find records with Computer or Software (either or both may be there) anywhere in the field.
Computer -Software will find records with Computer but not with Software anywhere in the field.
See an example here. See How to Search Online Using the Inmagic Alternate Syntax here.
To implement it see the DB/TextWorks help topic Exporting Query Screens to HTML.
