So far I’m only asking staff and full time faculty to look at it. It’s one of the free surveys you can set up at questionform, so it can only have 5 questions. I used up two questions asking if they read the newspapers and magazines.
The link for the survey is here.
Pretty cheeky, huh? Hopefully a billion people will check ’searchability’ and no one will check books or furniture and then maybe I’ll get a mega-incredible ILS. I contacted Talis in the UK, but they only serve the UK. Then I was looking at Polaris, but it’s still Windows based which means that any minute now they’ll go Web like Millennium and Mandarin, and when they do, everyone will need to buy the upgrade, right? Like when Vista comes out, then you gotta buy Vista. I can’t be buying the same library software twice.
BTW: Don’t think I mentioned it before, but someone from aNobii wrote me back. He appears to be the only person who has looked at my shelf. He says they are considering adding MARC data. He also said there’s no limit to how many books you can add there, but you can only “import” 500 at a time. LibraryThing seems to be working faster now with the queue. Time to fork over the 25 American bucks so I can put the rest of the catalog on there.
