Koha Spellcheck
Spell-checking means your users find what they are looking for regardless of spelling skills, spelling variations or language inflection. Koha Spellcheck automatically looks at a failed query and checks to see if a similar sounding word or phrase exists in your data. If it determines that such a condition exists, it will ask "Did you mean:", followed by a list of suggestions. Clicking on the suggestions will launch a new search using the alternate spelling.
Gutenberg E-books
With our integrated Koha Gutenberg module, LibLime can set your Koha installation to automatically catalog free Gutenberg E-books and link directly to the books from your catalog. Project Gutenberg is the original, and oldest, etext project on the Internet (founded in 1971) and currently includes over 14,000 free E-books and adds more than 400 more per month.
RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a convenient way to keep up with new content on your favorite website. LibLime integrates RSS feeds into your catalog, so instead of having to click through or search the various sections of your library's catalog to see what's new, patrons can opt-in to an RSS feed which pushes that information directly to their computer.
Any of the following sites are good resources to consult for an overview of RSS:
- RSS for Non-Techie Librarians
- Psssst…Have You Heard About RSS?
- Fagan Finder: All About RSS
- USC Annenberg Online Journalism Review: News That Comes to You
WebReference.com (which caters to those with an interest in the “techie” side of things) offers links to articles, tutorials, tools, software, and validators.
