DESCRIPTION
I presented this talk on Encore 4.2 as part of a European Innovative Users Group (EIUG) exchange of experience day on user-facing services at the Wellcome Trust on 21 March 2012. I described new features in the upcoming Encore release and then in more detail some of the things we have done with at Senate House Library using the ability to add custom JavaScript to the catalog.TRANSCRIPT
