4.0 Interface Orientation Brought to you by

Objectives By the end of this session we hope you’ll… … understand the reason for the migration; … be aware of the timeline for switching to the new staff/user interface at your library; … understand what the new features in the search interface are and how they work; … understand the options for customising the staff/user interface for your library; … feel prepared to share this information with other staff at your library and your users.

OutLook OnLine is… A union database of resources held at BC public and post-secondary libraries; A search portal which simultaneously searches the union database and virtual targets via Z39.50; An integrated ILL management platform used by most libraries.

Why are we migrating? Auto-Graphics will be discontinuing all older interfaces on July 1, 2014 AGent ILL = SHAREit

What’s different? Change to overall look and feel Major enhancements to the search interface Clustering of search results to facilitate requesting Migration of the underlying architecture to improve speed, HTML 5 for device flexibility Improved mapping of Z39.50 resources not in the union database

Migration Timeline April/May set-up of branding and system defaults Orientation, staged migration and support through May/June All libraries must be migrated by June 30, 2014

Let’s get started…

Next steps… Use the SHAREit 4.0 Set-up Guide to guide you through the process. Modify library defaults via your library admin account if desired OR leave as defaults. Train other ILL/public service staff using this orientation & script as needed. Test! Change to the new URLs on your website and staff workstations. That’s it!
