Powerful Web-based Searching A standard piece of any Horizon library suite, Horizon Information Portal is taking access to a new level. Whether they're searching from inside the library, at home, or in the office, users will enjoy:
Statistical and Reporting Tools As user services expand beyond the walls of the library, tracking off-site usage becomes an important issue. Horizon Information Portal gives you the ability to track usage statistics for both users and resources. Horizon Information Portal Adapts to Your Library One of Information Portal's most notable qualities is the ease and speed with which it can be installed. Most libraries can have the product up and running in less than two hours. With easy administrative tools, customization of Information Portal is a snap! With advanced tools like Horizon Consolidated Searching and Horizon Enriched Content your library's catalog comes to life. And because it is so easy to configure and customize, Information Portal is delighting both users and staff. Installation can be completed in minutes using wizards. Horizon Enriched Content With Horizon Enriched Content, your catalog is bursting with visual appeal and information previously unimagined. Users are drawn to cover art, tables of contents, author biographies, and sample chapters. They will be enticed to further discovery with book reviews, summaries, and related titles. Enriched Content helps users make better, more qualified choices faster and easier.
Horizon Consolidated Searching With Consolidated Searching, you can search your catalog and your web databases—in fact all of your electronic resources—with a single query. Dynix has partnered with WebFeatTM to create translators that search multiple sources simultaneously. The search results are then displayed in one result set, providing users with a convenient choice of resources. Horizon Remote Patron Authentication As libraries move to web-based content subscription services, the need to authenticate remote users who utilize the web to access online resources becomes vital. With Horizon Remote Patron Authentication, you can provide secure authentication and give your users seamless access to restricted resources. This product authenticates directly with your user database to verify that the user meets library-defined criteria. Remote Patron Authentication qualifies the user and determines which online resources they are eligible to access, all through an easy-to-use web interface. Horizon Kid's Information Portal Horizon Kid's Information Portal draws your younger users into a world of exploration through colorful icons and easy-to-understand navigation. Young users can explore the catalog using over 2,800 pre-formulated searches to tap nearly 500 knowledge categories.
