Recommendations based on circulation data

11.10.2011 Together with the Public Library Bremen we set up a project with the objective of creating recommendations based on circulation data.

Not only for OPACs

13.09.2011 The portal German Eduserver www.eduserver.de operated by DIPF (Deutsches Institut für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung) is the first portal site introducing BibTip technology.

Karlsruhe crosslinked

08.04.2011 As of today and as the first ones in Germany the catalogs of the KIT Library, the Baden State Library and the City Library Karlsruhe are crosslinked using BibTip Recommendations.

Crosslinking catalogs

02.04.2011 Effective immediatly, there is a new feature available for all BibTip customers, which supports the enrichment of your local recommendations with additional recommendations for complementary titles in other libraries, which are not part of your local holdings.

Characteristics of BibTip

Catalog-specific

BibTip generates catalog-specific recommendations, which are custom-tailored to the users of the respective OPAC.

Cooperativ

BibTip supports the interchange of recommendations between different catalogs and also supports recommendations of titles in other OPACs.

Dynamic & Adaptive

BibTip recommendations automatically adapt to the current user behaviour.

Media independent

BibTip recommendations are media independent and work across different media types.

Language independent

BibTip does not depend on the UI language and offers cross-language recommendations.

Simple Integration

BibTip can be simply integrated in arbitrary OPACs from different vendors.

Service concept

BibTip runs as a service on central servers. Cost for hardware deployment or administration do not incur.

Behaviour-based

BibTip aggregates the search behaviour of your users and makes this knowledge usable for others.

Privacy

BibTip does not require the storage of any personal data of the catalog users.
