How has the initial FCLA Endeca OPAC user interface been developed? How have indexing and other setup decisions been made?
In order to help FCLA make progress on this initiative as quickly as possible, NCSU generously shared many of their Endeca setup and configuration files. Significant similarity in screen layout can currently be seen in the NCSU and FCLA Endeca search entry and Results List screens. FCLA staff have modified or added presentation code as needed; for example they have needed to add a display for the Full Record (since NCSU Endeca displays it’s SIRSI record rather than Endeca data). Some aspects of the existing FCLA Aleph OPACS as well as the old WebLUIS OPAC presentation have also been used as a guide for aspects of the initial FCLA Endeca user interface.
