Gale’s new eCatalog

Received an email about Gale’s new eCatalog which I almost deleted, but then decided to take a look at.  I thought they did a good job in the email selling it as a green alternative, but was curious to see how useful it’d prove.  It’s actually pretty nifty – you can link to a specific page (and send such links directly to various social networks), and each entry in the page leads out to Gale’s website for more info.  It’s a Flash application (Nxtbook – worth exploring?), which precludes me from highlighting specific text to use with LibX, but I wouldn’t have been able to use LibX with a print catalog either, would I?  And at least after clicking through, then I can use it.  You can search, print (looks great).  Overall a pretty nifty implementation.  And now I have it bookmarked here for future reference 🙂

  1. Thanks for the kind comments about Nxtbook Media. We’re thrilled to be working w/ Gale and glad you like the product. Your thoughts about LibX integration are valid – I’ll pass them along to the development team.

  2. There are lots of nifty ecatalog providers out there. One I have come across is Syndeca, which has great rich media integration.

  3. I just came across some other ecatalogs which have rich media, and are really cool…
    Dell
    AT&T
    Kodak Gallery
    Looks like a company Syndeca produces them…
