LibX is a platform for delivering library services that require a client-side presence, such as toolbars,
context menus, and content scripts. These services integrate library-related resources (links, results, tutorials)
into those web pages your users use when they don't go through the library's portals. While LibX 1.5 was mostly
used as a toolbar to represent a library's OPAC, LibX 2.0's focus is on simplifying the creation and distribution
of content scripts, which we call LibApps. The LibX Edition Builder allows librarians, even those who
prefer not to program, to independently create and distribute LibX editions for their user communities.
In a similar vein, the LibX LibApp Builder allows librarians to independently create and manage LibApps
for their user communities and share them with others. This talk will discuss the design and implementation
of the LibApp builder. We will also show how LibApps can be created to link the user's web experience to
modern discovery systems such as Summon in a smart and non-obtrusive way.
