Thank you, everyone, for the feedback!<br><br>So, what I'm hearing is that COiNS in the search results is definitely a feature worth keeping, as lots of folks are making use of it with tools like Zotero. Good to know.<br>
<br>I'm half-way through writing a patch that will add a system preference so you can choose whether you want to continue to use COiNS on the OPAC search results page (will not affect any other page, like <a href="http://opac-details.pl">opac-details.pl</a>), or remove them in favour of a faster search. The default value will be "Use", so the default behaviour will remain the same. More choices = more power to the user!<br>

We also encourage our patrons to use Zotero. Personally I use it<br>
(Zotero) myself, constantly, for my other job.<br>
