Library technology solutions provider SirsiDynix, US, has announced the launch of SirsiDynix Enterprise 3.0. Enterprise 3.0 offers users a single 'search well' to discover all resources made available by the library including one or more library catalogues, digital collections, selected web sites and federated resources. The beta programme for SirsiDynix Enterprise 3.0 will conclude this summer. General availability is scheduled for September 2009.
Enterprise 3.0 sets a new standard for local control in a hosted discovery tool. The Enterprise administrative user interface gives libraries the ability to define profiles for specific local patron groups. Users searching through a locally-defined profile may search everything the library offers or a subset of particular interest. The tool lets libraries define custom search limits for use within specific profiles. The built-in Google Analytics allows libraries to have unprecedented visibility into the usage trends of their Enterprise 3.0 discovery tool. Libraries that use the content management features will be able to select which content is available to specific profiles and can use both a WYSIWYG interface for editing and creating content or a built-in HTML editor.
In addition, Enterprise has essential elements that have become standard for a modern library discovery tool including real-time availability information, integration with an industry-wide social network (through ChiliFresh), seamless placement of holds, enriched content integration, 'did you mean' search suggestions, and RSS/ATOM feeds.
