A Response to Stephen Abram and SirsiDynix - http://loomware.typepad.com/loomwar...
hah! give 'im hell, Mark! - D0r0th34
Love this: "This messy, difficult thing is called innovation, and while it can cause angst for those who prefer stable dysfunctionality," - Polly Potter
bah. the real question is whether MLA signed an *exclusive* agreement with Summon. - D0r0th34
Yeah, exclusive agreements are gonna make these new discovery tools of limited potential. No ProQuest metadata harvesting for EBSCOhost Discovery; likewise, no harvesting of EBSCOhost metadata for Summon. Haven't researched to see who's signed up to do exclusives yet. Would be interesting to have a chart listing each of the discovery tools and major publishers and who's lined up for exclusives so far. - Stephen Francoeur
I'm sure some bright soul will think of that. I hear there's more of this type of product coming, so honestly, it'd be STUPID to sign on the dotted line for one at this juncture. - D0r0th34
In addition to EBSCOhost Discovery and Serials Solutions Summon, there's also WorldCat (which has long had a handful of databases bundled in but will soon have Wilson content and others...not sure of the costs). Don't know enough about Encore or Primo to know if they're also set up to harvest other vendors' metadata and locally index it. - Stephen Francoeur
explains why OCLC slurped up OAIster, dunnit - D0r0th34

Nope. Not here. - Catherine OlderThanSteve
NO - JSNFLMNG
Not even close here. - Jàson Puçkett
About half full even late afternoon on a Friday at a commuter campus. If anything, we're trying to find ways to expand hours. - John Dupuis
I'ma say no. - Steve is older than ever
Beyonce had the best library evar. - Joe.... from iPod
Yes and no. Large libraries with a variety of spaces and plenty of tech about, no. Small departmental libraries -- dying fast. Even when the spaces are actually more visually attractive. - D0r0th34
What surprised me most is that the Dean of Syracuse U. Libraries said that. Anyone know what kind of reputation Suzanne E. Thorin has? - Joe....
if anything i'd say libraries are becoming more about the place, seats, computers, a gathering space. looking further into the link i would say she does have a good question as to what is a library, but it certainly isn't dead by anymeans...whatever it is - Sir Shuping
Not here. We have loads of folks here, even on a Friday at 5:30 pm. - marthalib
Also, the student senate recently demanded longer hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. - marthalib
So, so, so busy at the library this semester. - Maura Smale
