Encore Webinar Series

Dear Innovative Customer:

Innovative Interfaces is pleased to announce the second in its series of free webinars that explore key issues of library technology in the context of Innovative’s discovery services platform. The Encore Webinar Series continues with Integration of Local Library Content and Metadata in Encore, a 45-minute presentation that you can attend either on November 17 or November 18, 2009.

Integration of Local Library Content and Metadata in Encore

Today’s libraries must provide a search tool that is as easy to use as a search engine, while offering the special opportunities for discovery only a library can provide. Encore makes the most of local content and metadata resulting in a richer discovery experience and greater library visibility. Encore’s new Explore Related Searches feature brings in authority data from your Millennium system to suggest additional avenues of discovery users might otherwise overlook. In addition, libraries are harvesting OAI-compliant data and other metadata from archives into Encore to highlight their special collections—and enable community tagging of this material. The rich metadata created by librarians, plus the content they have digitized or created, becomes a dynamic part of a modern discovery environment. Please join us for Integration of Local Library Content and Metadata in Encore.

Two Sessions to Choose From

Once the host approves your request, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions for joining the meeting. We recommend joining the meeting 10 minutes early to make sure you can see and hear what you need to.

Presenters

The webinar’s presenters are closely involved with the evolution of the Encore Discovery product and Encore customers: Betsy Graham, Vice President, Product Management, and Rice Majors, Product Manager for Encore.

What to Expect

This webinar will provide a look at specific Encore functions:

• Local authority data leveraged for Explore Related Searches feature
• Integration of licensing data from the Innovative ERM
• Integration of content such as images
• Leveraging circulation data and collection development data to suggest Best Bets
• Real time limit-to-available facet based on circulation status
• Course reserves access through faceted search
• Library programs accessible in context of discovery
• “Did You Mean?” feature powered by the library’s bibliographic data

In short, Encore’s integration with the library’s local data is stronger than any other option. And we want to show you how.

All attendees of the webinar will be entered into a raffle to win a Flip video recorder. Two winners will be selected at random and will be notified within a week of the event.

***Please Note***

This will be a VoIP session, meaning that the audio stream will come through your computer rather than the telephone. After you join the meeting, the webinar software will guide you through the Audio Setup Wizard to establish the connection. Please make sure your computer is suitable for this application (browser settings, sound card/speakers, sound settings, etc.). Again, we recommend joining the meeting 10 minutes early to make sure you can see and hear what you need to. During the webinar the chat feature will be enabled for you to ask questions. Simply click on the talk-bubble icon on the toolbar at the bottom-right of your screen.
