Millennium OPAC Integration

This module integrates Drupal with III/Millennium WebOPACs (library catalogs): you can import bibliographic records, or embed records in a node using the input filter. Imported nodes can have taxonomy terms created from the original record, a real-time holdings display, embedded book previews from Google Book Search and more.

Requirements

• For batch importing, your WebOPAC must be configured to allow exporting records from the book cart in MARC format. See issue #1017902: Batch Import won't work if MARC option not enabled for cart export in OPAC.
• Drupal 7 version: requires MySQL (currently)
• Drupal 6 version: >PHP5

Features

• Imports records with each Cron.php run or from a manual list, query or record range (at about 10-40 items per second)
• Can embed records within any node's body using an input filter
• Can aggregate records from multiple OPACs in a single Drupal site
• Supports book jacket images, with Views integration
• Can import and display additional metadata like Library of Congress book description and tables of contents
• Can display real-time holdings information (fetched via AJAX)
• Embeds Google Book Search links and previews for items available online

Documentation
