The Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) has used Inmagic DB/TextWorks for many years to manage their library collections. In 2016, VIHA joined other health authority libraries around British Columbia in upgrading their web-based library catalogue search interface to a modern, feature-rich system: the Andornot Discovery Interface (AnDI).
The new catalogue is available at https://viha.andornot.com
The updated system is comparable to the search interfaces found in most university and public libraries, with a quick search box and then the ability to drill down through the results. Features include:
The site includes canned search links for special topics and collections and a more prominent listing of new titles, also available as an RSS feed. Book covers from Open Library are included automatically if available, based on ISBNs in the record.
The site is hosted and maintained by Andornot with automated updates from DB/TextWorks, which remains the back-end data management tool.
Contact Andornot to discuss similar upgrades to your search interfaces.
