<p>'''NCSU North Carolina State University OPAC'''  at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/ uses Endeca instead of a library vendor opac. </p>
 
 
<p> Results screen features: narrow by lcsh subheadings and types (General works, etc..), link to similar items, the floor of the building where item is located, checkout status, sort search by "most popular" etc...</p>
 
<p>Some things are still powered by the SIRSI backend, like authority search and full display.</p>
 
<p>The main disadvantage, and it's a big one, is that information is updated from SIRSI to Endeca daily, so may be up to 24 hours out of date, including circulation status (!)</p>

OPAC Vendors We Like

If you would like to recommend a vendor, please sign your name to the recommendation so that we know it's not from a vendor. An explanation of why you like this vendor would be great too!

I haven't used Aquabrowser first hand, but it's worth looking into. It's a user interface that sits on top of an existing library catalog. Users search the online catalog and get results in visual form (a "word cloud"). If you've used Kartoo, you'll see a similarity. The results show associations, including shades of meaning and related spellings. Ellie
