COLLECTION CONNECTION #120
This newsletter highlights recent developments with the Browser module. First we introduce new features in Browser Version 6 and then show how Tairāwhiti Museum has added multi-lingual navigation to their online collection and how the Australian Ballet uses the Browser module to allow all staff internal access to their database.

Vernon Browser has been implemented as an intranet site for staff at The Australian Ballet to search the production assets via colour, keyword search, Google API generated tags, Production name, TAB Premiere date, dancer, designer and choreographer.
