Just attended Woepacs to Wowpacs.
It is good to know that everyone thinks their OPACs are bad. Can’t wait to get back and start customizing ours now that I have access to the test server.
Roy, from OCLC, noted the differences between Integrated Library Systems (ILS) and Discovery Systems (which are essentially a public face/overlay for the ILS). Wondering if there is a better Discovery System that we might use at home. He mentioned a number of open source systems, which I’ve made notes about and will check into when I get home.
Had lunch with a coworker from my system, which was nice.
Still not sure what I’m doing after the conference today.
More later.
UPDATE:
Well, not that much more to report about today’s session. They were good, and I saw some good tools for possible use, but nothing really blew me away. The Wednesday sessions look pretty promising.
