you can still get sick even when the weather is nice 95 percent of the time. Unfortunately my run of not getting sick in Abu Dhabi has come to an end. More then likely I caught it from my son who was sick last weekend. Regardless, I still wanted to post some information about our "new" catalog LIWA. I say "new" as its been up for a year, however, it was still the cookie cutter design that was given to us by III.
Our new design has a brand new home page, new help menus, book jackets, and a new color scheme.
If you would like to check it out you can click on my LIWA catalog link at the top of the page.

Here are some of the things I'm still working on:

1. There is a problem with some of the web links being to long. This problem stems from the way some items are cataloged. Because of IEs break command it has been corrected in IE but it FAILS miserably in Firefox. Probably not much I can do with this until Firefox adds a command to break long strings. I haven't tried out Firefox 3 yet but hopefully it was added.

2. The help page needs some...well..help. This is something I will probably bring up in the LIWA meeting that is happening soon.

3. WebPac Pro or not. I don't know what to do with this yet. WebPac Pro gives me a lot more control..sort of, then the 2005 version but I hate the tabs and I really don't want to have to go through and fix all of the problems again.

4. I'm sure there are problems here and there that no doubt will be brought up eventually. My main concern is the usage of the product. If we are paying for it I would like to see the usage increase and that starts with the consortium.

Id like to end this post by mentioning that there is a LIWA consortium meeting this month that will hopefully correct some of the problems that are currently happening, keep your fingers crossed.
