Abstract:

Binghamton University Libraries implemented a Grokker plug-in for the Aleph OPAC and selected databases in Spring 2007. The presentation will share the ins and outs of developing and implementing the first Grokker plug-in for Aleph. We will discuss the Grokker/OPAC retrieval and display process, usability, and student reaction to this visual search tool.
