Whats going on at LRS
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 by Rob
Since its the end of the week for us (holiday Thursday, yes!) I thought I would post what was happening at LRS this week. This week was once again spent working on some additions to the LIWA page. I have to say I really love Scriptaculous it makes javascript so easy. This week I added a script for blind effect for the right side tool bar, probably completely worthless but I'm trying to see what I can do with this catalog. I should also check out JQuery as I hear its a lighter version of Scriptaculous.
After weeks of waiting III also set us up so Google Scholar can crawl our holdings. Next week I'll spend some time setting up WebBridge so it can work with Google.
The big event this week came to a skidding stop yesterday. If you remember from my post last week we were supposed to be having a LIWA meeting today. Well that failed after UAEU called and canceled. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed and slightly annoyed at the last minute cancellation, especially considering the reasons given. However, things are better now as we have rescheduled the meeting for March 25th at 10 a.m. Hopefully everyone will be able to come to this one.
My final note for this week is a question. What makes a Power User? I've heard this phrase used several times in the last week or so and I'd like to know what it actually means. Does it mean that your patrons use many library tools at once or does it mean they order an abundance of material? It like to hear how people perceive this phrase.
