Week in Review
Thursday, March 13, 2008 by Rob
Here's whats happening at LRS this week, at least what I'm doing. This week was spent working on another version of LIWA. I just finished the other one but that was basically to get it up and running and get rid of the "out of the box" feel. So this week was spent working with the Script.aculo.us javascript. I've got to say that its a really cool set of scripts that might work well with our catalogue, currently I'm working with the Drag and Drop features in hopes that I can make a more"web 2.0"style catalogue.
Most of the week was spent doing that, otherwise I went to a meeting on Sharepoint so we could figure out whose doing what. I have to say that I was a tad confused when I left the meeting as I really have no idea how an internal web page can be used for academic accreditation or how the standard layout will apply to the library but who knows maybe there is something I'm missing.
Besides the Sharepoint meeting I also had a meeting with Gale/Bowker in which we discussed some addons we might want to purchase. They did happen to bring a long some information on AquaBrowser (yeah!!) which I love as well as some information about adding table of contents to our current catalogue which I don't really love. We also discussed SFX a little during the meeting and everyone laughed when it was mentioned HCT will never purchase SFX. (Here's a small hint, SFX is a product of Ex Libris which is a Jewish run company).
So thats about it for this week. We will be attending a hockey game tonight, NHL all stars vs UAE all stars (yep you read that right). Oh and I finally got a liquor license, came though internal mail today (whooo!).
