About


How it works
An overview (with a snazzy diagram) of how the programs, configuration files, Perl modules, and Voyager database all interact with each other.

Configuration options with examples
These are all the ways you can customize the program without knowing a thing about Perl programming.

The SQL Queries [restricted*]
How is "newness" defined? The answer goes to the heart of any new books list and may not be as simple as you think. Find out more here.

* Access to this section is restricted to Voyager libraries. When prompted, enter "voyager" as the username and the voyager-l archive password as the password.
Installation tips
Is this your first time installing Perl software? If so, you'll want to take a look at these hints. (Plus a bit on creating new language modules.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Also includes a couple of once-asked questions and stuff that didn't quite fit anywhere else.
