Personalizing Voyager Using Browser Extensions, Kathryn Lybarger May 2015

Personalizing Voyager Using Browser Extensions, Kathryn Lybarger

Library Presentations

If there is a complex web site that you use frequently, you may be able to simplify your work using web browser extensions! In this presentation I will describe a few types of browser extensions (including OpenSearch and GreaseMonkey), and give examples of how I have used them to speed up (and otherwise improve) Voyager on the web for cataloging staff, all without needing any special server access. Similar methods could be used for other web-based systems, such as Primo and Alma.

In this session, I'll describe a few types of browser extensions (including custom OpenSearch search boxes and Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey user scripts), and how I have used them with our OPAC and other web sites.
