Hi Shelly

You should be able to get the Perl script up and running, although it might require a bit of help from one of your IT staff (especially if you have to set up the ODBC connection from scratch).

Pleeeeease tell me what I need to do in order for you to show me how to do that with our HIP catalog? Could someone who is not a programmer, like me, do it without too much trouble? Thank you. Shelly M. WOW!

The script is really only a prototype, inspired by Jenny Levine et al, so it's fantastic that you've managed to get it running with a completely different library system :-) If you're happy to share it, then I'd be more than happy to host it with the existing Horizon script - you can email me at: email [at] daveyp.com I'm busy trying to come up with a hierarchical browsing version of the Horizon script.

This morning he shows me a working version. I love it! He's going to tweak it some more, then I hope to include it on our library's homepage. Davey, would you want to upload the Voyager version of the script too?
