Congratulations NSCU

Andrew Pace at North Carolina State University just sent me a note announcing his long promised improvements to the SirsiDynix OPAC there.

And it's pretty cool! Steven Bell summarized some of the neat features:

"* Complex relevency ranking
* Spell correction
* Did you mean…. recommendations
* Refinements based on subfielded LCSH
* LC Classification browsing and refinement
* Sort by most circulated (”Most popular”)
* Links from full record display (currently still SirsiDynix Web2) back to Endeca via “More by this author” and “More titles like this”
* Refinement breadcrumbs that allow you to trace search and delete unwanted refinements."

You can see some of it here.

Here's their press release.

Here's a few reviews already, here and here and here and here.

Kudos to Andrew Pace, Susan Nutter, Emily Lynema and the rest of the NCSU team.

Stephen
