Search includes a number of features unique to Houston Public Library,
including a company and directory database search interface, offering a
sophisticated custom mapping of search fields and filters from the common
WebFeat interface into native database interfaces. The system also currently
holds the record for the greatest number of databases simultaneously
searchable by a
WebFeat system.
“We are
excited about offering this state-of-the-art information technology to
our patrons,” said Barbara Gubbin, director of
Houston Public Library, “WebFeat is bringing Houston Public Library’s extensive
online information sources closer to its customers. For more information
call 832-292-1313 or visit our Web site at www.houstonlibrary.org/.”
Houston Public Library’s WebFeat
system includes the WebFeat Usage Tracker (“WUT”), which tracks and reports
usage for Houston Public Library’s 150 databases. WUT eliminates the time-consuming
requirement to request usage data from dozens of content providers.
“We are thrilled to be working
with Houston Public Library on their WebFeat system,” said Todd Miller,
Founder and CEO of WebFeat, “Houston Public Library joins a prestigious
group of libraries offering this capability to their users. Houston Public
Library’s WebFeat system offers a powerful array of features presented
for the first time.”
