Certain things in your public catalogue can be customized for you by Sitka staff. Making these changes takes time so please ensure you contact Co-op Support with your requested changes at least one week before you want the changes live.
Each library can customize the Evergreen public catalogue with their logo and colours.
The logo should be sent to xref:[Co-op Support] as a .png file.
|
Note
|
Co-op Support recommends thinking about how your logo will display on different devices. Large or long logos may not display well when the public catalogue is viewed on a mobile device. |
There can be separate colours for:
-
the header
-
the footer
-
the buttons (search, clear form, my account)
-
the facets (to the left of the search results)
Please provide the colours you want in their hex codes. If you like a colour used on another Sitka library’s public catalogue let us know and we can pull the hex code from their site.
By default there are two links in the header - Library Home and My Account. Additional links can be added to point to other resources and pages the library wishes to include. To have a link added please send both the link and the text to display to Co-op Support.
By default the public catalogue displays just the date for due dates. Libraries that have hourly loans can choose to have the due date time included; the due date time will display for all check outs, not just hourly loans.
A temporary banner with text and links can be applied across the top of your public catalogue. The yearly banner for Sitka’s Evergreen upgrade will override local banners.
Libraries participating in reciprocal borrowing agreements that allow patrons to place holds, like Interlibrary Connect, have three option for how their public catalogue scopes.
-
Only your library displays in the search library list
-
All libraries in your zone display in the search list and your library is the default
-
All libraries in your zone display in the search list and the top organization in the zone is the default
Libraries which allow patrons to self register using the Request a Library Card functionality can add custom text between the form fields and the Submit Registration button. This can be used to include information about why the library is collecting the information required in the form and what the library will do with that information.
Libraries can also customize the text that appears after a patron clicks the Submit Registration to advise the patron of what will happen next.
To custom text for the request a library card functionality please send the text to display to Co-op Support and specify if it is for the bottom of the form or for the registration confirmation page.
The text on the My Account login page can be customized if your library has specific information that patrons need for logging in that isn’t covered by the default text.
