[OPLINTECH] Using Public Browser for Library Catalogs

[Mann, James H.]

Here's an interesting weekend project. The idea is to replace PWB with
Firefox. To be honest I've started this a couple times but never
finished.

OPLIN Libraries:

 

We  have been using the free version (v.1) of Public Browser for our
public catalogs.  The old version is now causing problems with our newly
updated automation system so I'm thinking it's time to either upgrade to
version 2 for $125 a year or move to a different product.  I would
really like to use a "free" product so with that in mind are then any
suggestions.  We basically want to keep users locked in to our web based
catalog (Polaris 3.3).  We already use group policy to lock the
computers down and alter IE7, but I don't know if I can use GP to do
what Public Browser did. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
