Description Christopher Brannon 2018-01-09 18:17:11 UTC
Would like to see an alternative OPAC search for patrons geared towards children.  Something like this:

http://www2.hampton.lib.nh.us:8080/kids?config=default#/categories

It would be easy enough to customize searches, but it would be great to be able to customize a background, and add big buttons to the search topics.  You will notice that the general search bar at the top limits to children's materials, and the layout of the results is EXTREMELY kid friendly.

ByWater has a proof of concept for a Children's Opac plugin at http://cl.fourarts.bywatersolutions.com/.

Not sure of the timeframe for further development.

Cheers,

Cab Vinton

Okay...yes, yes, yes!  Let's do it!  That looks great!  :)

If/when the OPAC is API driven, this would be much more achievable I reckon.
