TPAC library pages

Evergreen 2.5 introduced the Library information URL library setting to associate a web page with a library. If set, this value was used as the target of the library link in the copy table on the record details page. However, the new default behavior is to link to the automatically generated TPAC library page, which in turn links to the external web site.

If you wish to maintain the previous behavior, you can set the Use external library information URL library setting to True.

Disable Autosuggest by Default

As described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1187993, the community is aware of ongoing accessibility issues caused through use of the autosuggest feature of the Evergreen catalog. The decision has been made to disable autosuggest by default for new installations. Existing sites are cautioned to take note of this change and decide for themselves whether to discontinue use.

It is possible to disable the autosuggest feature via a global flag. Look in Admin -> Server Administration -> Global Flags, find the OPAC: Show auto-completing suggestions dialog... setting, then edit and uncheck the Enabled box.
