Gaylord has replaced its earlier Web-based patron-access catalog with a new product built from the ground up in standard HTML. Libraries could not easily customize its earlier product, which was based on proprietary code. The new product not only facilitates searching of the patron access catalog but provides patrons access to their personal account information and lets them place and cancel holds. It also hyperlinks to authors and related subjects.
That Gaylord continues to invest development time and effort in Galaxy, rather than focus its attention on Polaris, its newer product, is significant.
