Webpac conversion

Adrian Erb, Teresa Ashley, and Margaret Peloquin have been meeting continually on Thursday afternoons at the CYP FRC to work on converting the Webpac to the newer Skyline version. The process took this path:

• Training
  


• iii customizable files and forms
  
• importance of tokens
• wwwoptions
• styles.css
• toplogo and toplogo_loggedin
  


• coding the customizable forms
• resolving issues, e.g., using a "search" button instead of the iii submit button.

Adrian worked mostly with the electronic resources pages but pitched in where needed on other pages such as the catalog Help Center pages.

Teresa worked on the search pages and general design. She will continue work on converting the Spanish language pages during the Spring. (anticipated deadline end of the Spring session)

The new catalog will be operational by 11 Jan 2010 when librarians return to work. This should allow time to update graphics on any handout they may have.
