The 'Find a Library' Mobile Website
Posted by Phil, 13th May 2011Developed for the Collections Trust using Culture Grid, "Find a Library" is a website targeted at mobile browsers. This easy to use interface allows users to search for UK library locations and will display detailed information where available. Users can also help improve the data by visiting libraries and use their mobile phone to pinpoint the exact location and report updates about library details.
The UI for the project was developed in Google Web Toolkit and uses the SOLR Culture Grid Service, developed by Knowledge Integration, to power the search and location services.

Culture Grid Website and Search Interface
Posted by Phil, 21st June 2010The Culture Grid is a new and unique online service from Collections Trust, the UK's independent organisation for collections. The site enables users to find out about, engage with, and visit the wonders within the UK's collections, improving their visibility, impact and value.
Gooii designed and built the website and search interface for this exciting new service. Based upon a powerful search engine created by Knowledge Integration, the interface was designed to be familiar and easy to use. Grid and list views allow the user to browse the results visually, or with more focus on textual information. Under the hood is an application programmed in Java using Google Web Toolkit to produce a fast, friendly and interactive search experience.
