RDWLP announces immediate availability of v2.0

September 22, 2008 – 12:58 pm

After 7 months of development, the Olivet University department of R&D is proud to announce the launch and immediate availability of the RDWLP v2.0 Christian e-library. The latest version of the e-library includes the following features:

  • 8 collections including 3 licensed collections, which are CCEL, TREN, and EBSCO.
  • Integrated AJAX-driven search, so fields can be instantly updated from within the search page.
  • MARC21 support throughout for both presenting information and exporting into existing OPAC systems.
  • New librarian backend allowing control over collection visibility, student access permission, usage reporting, page creation, and page settings.
  • New smarty-driven templates so each library is independently customizable.
  • User login system for improved integrated authentication and book saving features.

It is actually a whole new system, so there are a host of new features unavailable on the previous version. The library interface can be seen at http://library.rdwl.org and a guest username and password can be provided upon request.

This e-Library system can be provided to Christian schools and organizations that wish to offer this service to its members. The free content can be provided without cost, but agreements for licensed collections will need to be formed separately. Please contact us if you would like to work with the RDWLP.
