File: Evergreen Custom Bib Record and Google Book Search previews integration
This is an update to the Evergreen v. 1.2.2.3 client-side codebase which adds the ability to create cusomized bib records using a simple xml markup and also adds Google Book Search previews integration into the results pages.
Instructions for using the code and integrating it into your Evergreen installation are included in the readme.txt file in the attached archive.
You can see this code in action on UPEI's Evergreen site. Some example results pages are here:

About Islandora
UPEI Robertson Library

Islandora Project Receives Major Grant Funding
Islandora VirtualBox Demo ver 1.0 Instructions Available
Islandora is an open source framework under development at the Robertson Library at the University of Prince Edward Island. Islandora combines the Drupal and Fedora software applications to create a robust digital asset management system that can be used for any requirement where collaboration and digital data stewardship, for the short and long term, are critical. Additional open source applications are added to the stack to create what we call Solution Packs or Sprouts.
We are creating a number of initiatives under the umbrella of the Islandora project, all developed using the innovative Islandora software suite, including:
- VRE (Virtual Research Environment) - custom collections of data models and applications providing best-practice stewardship of research data. The VRE Sprouts are developed through collaboration with a number of researchers at UPEI and elsewhere and will be released on this site starting in Q2 2010. Initial VRE Sprouts will include Life Sciences, Epidemiology, Virtual Microscopy and Lab Management. More information about our VRE's is available from the links on this site.
- IslandArchives.ca - an exemplar set of digital collections created by UPEI and our partners, providing access to a wide range of digital documents and materials. The Sprouts released in 2010 will include Books, Magazines and Newspapers, Maps, Video/Audio.
- Repository-In-A-Box - a unique solution for building Institutional Repositories and as seen with UPEI's own IslandScholar site. A new version of the IR Sprout will be available in February 2010.
There are also an increasing number of institutions using Islandora for their own repository systems. If you are using Islandora we would like to add your name to our list of collaborators: contact Mark at the co-ordinates below with information about your project.
For more information about Islandora, explore our site, request an account via the Login button above, or by sending an e-mail to Mark Leggott (mleggott@upei.ca).
