@Michelle:

So far, the facets come from the catalog data, the fields in the marc record (though it’s not limited to marc). Most sites so far are displaying the subject headings as facets that you can use to browse or narrow your search by.

But you can also manipulate the data to do more. The importers now treat all 600-series fields alike, but you could tweak the importer to group geographic subjects in a different facet (actually, that’s something I’m working on).

You can also tweak the data using SQL statements. Scriblio not only makes it easier for the user to find what she wants, it makes it far easier for the librarian to experiment with both the data and the display to get the results our users need.

Our library is considering various faceted browsing solutions, and I’m looking at Scriblio. One question that I can’t seem to find an answer to: which part of Scriblio (looking at the download steps – Scriblio or bSuite) creates the facets, and is it possible for a library to customize that code to create different types of facets?

Thanks!

I just updated the tar.gz download file _and_ posted a quick guide on getting started with Subversion _and_ made it easier to find the last updated status of the repository.
