How does it work?
The Vernon HTML Export to an On-line Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) is a public access interface for data exported from your Vernon database for display. It is created through an export process which merges data (text and images) from Vernon records with HTML templates, forming HTML pages.
The HTML pages can be accessed by a web browser, and are displayed in the appropriate panes within the OPAC. Index pages are displayed in the three pane front page. Individual records are selected from the indexes and displayed in a pane overlaying the front page. You select the data to be made available in the OPAC and specify how it will be indexed.
The HTML pages created through the export of this data can be stored for access by a webserver to display on the Internet, Intranet, stand-alone kiosk or CD-ROM.
Some sites may wish to have their entire collection accessible through the Vernon HTML Export. There may be specific collections or types of objects within your institution that you may wish to display, or perhaps you wish to offer examples to give an overview of the institution. You specify the list of records from Vernon that are to be exported to the OPAC in the Listname field in the Export Configuration. Sites can impose restrictions to maintain the appropriate legal constraints on access to information. For example, many sites will choose not to publish insurance values. Confidential information about the source of objects can also be excluded from the data export. In short, you only export what you want OPAC users to have access to.
