  1. Innopac and Portal Integration Tracey Stanley, University of Leeds

  2. What we wanted to do • Integrate the OPAC with our Portal so that users could search the OPAC from within a portal environment. • Integrate the patron record within the Portal so that users could see their account from within a portal environment. • Create single-sign-on connectors between the Portal and Millennium so users did not have to login again once they were inside the Portal. • Integrate federated search tools within the Portal.

  3. The Portal • SCT Luminis Portal • Single-sign-on access to: • Library services • VLE (Bodington) • Student email • Banner Student Information System • Tools for personalisation, group communication and targeted announcements

  4. Option 1: Use Airpac • Airpac is intended for mobile access to the OPAC. • It provides a simplified search environment. • Uses a set of JSPs for different mobile devices. • The client works out which device you are using and presents the appropriate code to generate a home page.

  5. Airpac • Airpac can be used to embed an OPAC search box within a portal channel. • The portal is, in effect, another mobile client (create a new JSP). • Portal requires strict xhtml markup. • Disadvantages: • The Airpac client is a much cut-down version of the OPAC – lose a lot of functionality, including ERM. • Airpac does not work with LDAP – so single-sign-on is not straightforward.

  9. Option 2: MyMillennium • MyMillennium offers personalised access to the OPAC. • Single sign-on achieved from the Portal – needs LDAP module in place. • Opens in new window – not as clean an approach as with Airpac. • Going live with this solution for the coming academic year.

  15. Plans for the future • RSS Feeds – RSS Feedbuilder and My Record Feeds • Feedbuilder enables the creation of RSS feeds from Millennium – uses review files to provide data for the feeds. • Patron notices could be delivered to the Portal as a feed (could include courtesy notices?) • New books feed. • Topic feeds – tailored by School/Programme/Module? • Aggregated ‘my worries’ feed? • Requires Rel2006 and WebPAC Pro
