Search support: ActionApps, members area

The Electronic Immigration Network (EIN) web project involved a total rebuild of the EIN’s old ASP website. The site is now powered at every level by ActionApps, allowing for content from 6 complex databases of legal material (legislation, case law reports, country reports, online legal resources, a calendar, job vacancies) to dynamically update the site. An initial 16,000 documents were imported into the site from the former database in October 2002. The site now houses more than 100,000 documents.

In 2003, the Conference of Socialist Economists had the entire 26 year archive of their printed quarterly magazine ‘Capital and Class’, scanned and digitised. The challenge then was to build a website which would add value to a journal subscription by providing searchable access to this archive. The finished site includes a secure online subscription feature, an HTDig/AA integrated search which indexes all PDF previews of back issues, and a simple process for updating by CSE staff.
