Gone Squirrelly

Thought it was time to venture into blogaholism...so here goes nuthin'...

We're implementing SFX (a link server http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/sfx.htm) from a standstill at the University that shall remain Nameless. You should try it sometime, it is a recipe for inciting pubcrawling.

We have no list of serials - and yes, that means we do not know what we own. Pulling journal title information from the OPAC (read Library catalogue) is like using someone else's hand to pull yet another person's teeth while both fight you the whole distance. Downloading information from publisher's websites is an object lesson in the ridiculous also.

So how are we doing it? We'll chat tomorrow.
