What's on the shelves?

Following the summer release of its new enterprise search product, SirsiDynix has announced the Symphony e-Library platform, which shares a similar look and feel to its bigger sibling.
Symphony e-Library is designed as an end-user solution for the Symphony library management system, a way to give library users better online access to library services and data from the library tech and services company.
The way SirsiDynix has tried to give both librarians and users more autonomy is through opening up more than just bibliographic data. By linking to related enriched content, e-Library makes material such as book extracts, jackets, summaries and author information more accessible. Also available are details of books on hold and the user's place in a queue; there is even an area in which you can pay fees and fines and renew any currently borrowed material.
Links to buy searched books online are made to e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, and a Have You Read? section suggests books across a multitude of genres. Unfortunately, suggestions under the Classics, Booker Prize and Best Sellers were all empty for no apparent reason. A similar area on the homepage offers links to recommended reading titles and bestseller lists.
