Thanks for the info Katharine, I’m pleased to hear you’ve got an OPAC application sorted and hope your students find it useful. Does it allow them to renew their loans through Facebook or is it purely for searching?

Yes, we are still using Talis which at the moment is pretty behind the times although I’m informed there are some exciting new developments coming from Talis in the next year or so (I’ve heard rumours about a reading list application for Facebook which sounds very interesting indeed if it is true!).

Hi Jo,

I was going to call you but cant seem to find your number.
I am about to send an update to fans of Warwick facebook page to tell them we have developed an opac search application.
You wanted to know if we got anywhere with this, so I wanted to tell you first.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss it.
Unfortunatey I think it is something we can only do with our own LMS and if I remember correctly you guys use Talis?

Anyway, feel free to get in touch, would be good to hear from you, I hope all is well.
K
