[OPLINLIST] NoveList feature: linking directly to/from your library's OPAC

[Matt Naylor]

Yes it did appear in a new window in previous versions of Polaris.
Version 3.3 of Polaris eliminated the pop up windows and added the
frameset at the top. This is specific to the Polaris version and is not
affected by the Novelist interface change. 

Going to the Novelist homepage is because of the Novelist interface
change.  It is suppose to automatically execute a search.  Polaris is
working with Novelist to fix this.  I will post to the list when they
get it corrected.

I believe that it used to appear in a separate window prior to the 
Novelist interface change a week or so ago.  Apparently this is the new 
behavior for Polaris.  Not sure how other catalogs handle it.  Perhaps 
someone from Clark County could elaborate more on this?
