I've been playing with the hyperpals online catalog
available at http://bingen.cs.csbsju.edu/pals/hyperpals.html
on the web.
I'd be interested in hearing, on this list, what people think of
it. I like the cleanness of the design, but I see some problems
at an early glance:
1. Boolean searching across fields cannot be done on
individual searches,leading to a few complexities.
2. The MARC to html -- or whatever -- conversion works
indifferently well, causing some bizarre record
displays.
Very interesting approach however, and I'd be interested in knowing
what ref desk staff think.
thanks, Owens
