Announcement: v0.2 (6.4.2007) fixes the functionality of "checking book availability". It's now more robust. Reinstall is recommended.

Description

Improves and fixes Tel-Aviv University’s library catalog in several ways. With some tweaking, it should probably work in other implementations of the Alef catalog.

Current features:

  1. Fix the link mix-up when searching for authors (in Hebrew mode).
  2. Highlight the “electronic reprints” when they’re available. Also highlight (slightly differently) other electronic resources like online magazines.
  3. Automatically click “Agree” when viewing electronic reprints (skip the license).
  4. Replace all javascript links that open in new windows with regular links.
  5. When viewing a list of books, query each book to see if it’s available (currently exists in the library), and report its status near its title. If the book is available, a green “V” will appear. If not—a message saying it’s not.

Changelog

  • v0.2 (6.4.2007) - Major improvements to infrastructure. Fixed check book availability.
  • v0.1 (sometime in 2006) - First version.
