Hi, Joseph-- We set up (very easily!) our Koha catalog so that anytime someone is looking at a particular record, there is a "more searches" link on the right--you can see it here: http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=30395
We put in the search targets that our users might find most helpful, i.e., WorldCat.org, Open Library, San Francisco Public Library, etc. One can also configure the "no results" screen pretty easily--we decided not to put search targets on ours, but to put a "Contact a reference librarian" link--you can see how ours looks here: http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=ti%2Cphr%3Ahobbit Our primary users are our staff, so we want to push them to contact us to help with their research if they're not finding what they need--I imagine that libraries which have user-initiated ILL/consortial borrowing have this screen configured differently. In the staff client, a "no results" search gives you a Z39.50 button, and if you click that, you get a window that opens to execute your search--you configure which search targets you'd like here, and you can select one or more, select all, etc. One thing I like very much about Koha is that it's easily customized to suit one's users.
