-Kids OPAC
----------
-
-The Kids OPAC (KPAC) is a public catalog search that was designed for children 
-and teens.  Colorful menu items,large buttons, and simple navigation make this 
-an appealing search interface for kids.  Librarians will appreciate the flexible 
-configuration of the KPAC.  Librarians can create links to canned search results 
-for kids and can apply these links by branch.  The KPAC uses the same infrastructure 
-as the Template Toolkit OPAC (TPAC), the adult catalog search, so you can easily 
-extend the KPAC using the code that already exists in the TPAC.  Finally, third 
-party content, such as reader reviews, can be integrated into the KPAC.
-
-Choose a Skin
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Two skins, or design interfaces, have been created for the KPAC.  The KPAC was 
-designed to run multiple skins on a single web server.  A consortium, then, could 
-allow each library system to choose a skin for their patrons.
-
-
-*Monster Skin:*
-
-
-In this skin, the search bar shares the top panel with a playful monster.  The 
-search grid appears beneath the search bar.  Help and Login links appear in bold 
-colors at the top right of the interface although you can customize these with CSS.  
-After you login, the Login button disappears.
-

-
-
-*Alternate Skin:*
-
-In this skin, the search bar is the focal point of the top panel and is centered 
-on the screen.  The search grid appears beneath the search bar.  Help and Login 
-links appear at the top right of the interface. You can customize the appearance 
-and position of these links with CSS.  After you login, the user name is displayed 
-in the top right corner, and the Login link becomes an option to Logout.

-
-Search the Catalog
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can search the catalog using only the search bar, the search grid, or the search 
-bar and the collection drop down menu.
-
-
-*Search using the Search Bar*
-
-To search the catalog from the home page, enter text into the search bar in the 
-center of the main page, or enter text into the search bar to the right of the 
-results on a results page.  Search indices are configurable, but the default search 
-indices include author, title and (key)word.
-
-You can use this search bar to search the entire catalog, or, using the configuration 
-files, you can apply a filter so that search queries entered here retrieve records 
-that meet specific criteria, such as child-friendly copy locations or MARC audience 
-codes. 
-
-
-*Search using the Grid*
-
-From the home page, you can search the catalog by clicking on the grid of icons.  
-An icon search can link to an external web link or to a canned search.  For example, 
-the icon, Musical Instruments, could link to the results of a catalog search on 
-the subject heading, Musical instruments.  
-
-The labels on the grid of icons and the content that they search are configurable 
-by branch.  You can use the grid to search the entire catalog, or, using the 
-configuration files, you can apply a filter so that search queries entered here 
-retrieve records associated with specific criteria, such as child-friendly copy 
-locations or MARC audience codes.
-
-

-
-
-You can add multiple layers of icons and searches to your grid:
-
-

-
-
-
-*Search using the Search Bar and the _Collection_ Drop Down Menu*
-
-On the search results page, a search bar and drop down menu appear on the right 
-side of the screen.  You can enter a search term and into the search bar and select 
-a collection from the drop down menu to search these configured collections.  
-Configured collections might provide more targeted searching for your audience 
-than a general catalog search.  For example, you could create collections by shelving 
-location or by MARC audience code.  
-
-
-image::media/Kids_OPAC17.jpg[Kids_OPAC17]
-
-
-Using any search method, the search results display in the center of the screen.  
-Brief information displays beneath each title in the initial search result.  The 
-brief information that displays, such as title, author, or publication information, 
-is configurable.
-
-
-image::media/Kids_OPAC6.jpg[Kids_OPAC6]

-
-For full details on a title, click *More Info*.  The full details displays the 
-configured fields from the title record and copy information.  Click *Show more 
-copies* to display up to fifty results.  Use the breadcrumbs at the top to trace 
-your search history.

-
-The brief information about the title appears, and, if you have not yet logged in, 
-the *Get It!* panel appears with fields for username and password.  Enter the username 
-and password, and select the pick up library. Then click *Submit*.  If you have 
-already logged into your account, you need only to select the pick up location, 
-and click *Submit*.
-
-
-image::media/Kids_OPAC12.jpg[Kids_OPAC12]
-
-
-A confirmation of hold placement appears.  You can return to the previous record 
-or to your search results.
-
-

-a list of your own creation.  To save items to a list, click the *Get it* button 
-on the Search Results page.
