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.
Genie 3.3 Available
Inmagic has released Genie 3.3, a component of its DB/Text Library Suite, the company’s Web-based integrated library system (ILS) platform. Genie 3.3 bolsters the product’s serials management and configurability capabilities, and is available to all Genie customers on active maintenance.
The new serials functionality enhances tools such as arrival date prediction, routing lists and workflow. In addition, Genie 3.3 introduces easier configurability options, with updates to functions such as report-driven batch e-mail and alternate search syntax. These updates will ease library administration and improve 508 compliance, a federal regulation for making electronic and information technology accessible to the disabled.
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.
