TALIS plus is the name of the new (upgraded?) catalogue search mechanism at the State Library of Tasmania.
It uses faceted browsing and was largely designed by staff.
Design process
user behaviour
genre browsing.
To be effective the facets needed to be consistent and coherent.
13 Facets were decided upon:
- author
- fiction/non fiction
- format
- genre
- topic
- audience
- availability
- library location
- series
- Tasmania(n)
- region
- time period
- language
Issues faced:
- data quality
- data availabilty
- technical constraints
- conceptual difficulties/resource intensive
"A hold is just an issue that hasn't happened yet"
Some of the entry points/facets are similar (topic. fic/nf, audience)
Uses 'next gen catalogue' access points
Data is exposed
Standard library thing for libraries tags in full record.
data is only 'real time/live' at final access point (is it on shelf at the moment?)
