The Iguana concepts

1 2 3 4

Collaboration

With Iguana, your users can share your content with others. They can create affinity groups around your content; think of book clubs for example, or discussion groups around the library’s art exhibits. Your users can also connect with their friends to share items – books, DVD, CDs, etc.

Personalization

Iguana provides users with a highly personalized environment. Iguana delivers information that is based on a user’s profile; the user views events for his or her library branch, for example, and reads news based on his or her interests.

Discovery

With Iguana, your users can discover information in the library and beyond. Your users can discover the library’s collections and more in an interactive and personalized way.

Portability

The Iguana platform is entirely deconstructed; each content area on the page is a widget – users can move content on their library’s page and create their own views. Users can also move content elsewhere – to external environments such as Facebook or iGoogle, for example. Now your users can interact around your content on those pages that they visit the most.
