The summer session class on Art Documentation kept a blog this year and there are some really interesting entries – you can check it out at LIS 446 Summer 2007. Some good ideas for future Panopticon meetings and discussions…

Some good reading on the LIS446 blog
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007OPAC meets Web 2.0 with Vufind
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Have you checked out Vufind? I did in my attempt to finish my paper this morning. So far I am finding it a bit helpful. This is a new library resource portal designed to enable users to search the library’s resources replacing the library’s OPAC. It combines the following areas.
Catalog Records
Locally Cached Journals
Digital Library Items
Institutional Repository
Institutional Bibliography
Other Library Collections and Resources
I tested it and realized that it was a resource that was potentially helpfu.l I just wished that I had seen it a lot earlier. I would have had more time to test it.
Panel discussion was a success!
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007Thanks to everyone who came to the panel discussion at Simmons last night. We had a great turn out and I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from those in attendance. If you weren’t able to make it, it should be available soon via podcast. We will provide a link to it on the Panopticon website as soon as it’s available.
Keep an eye out for posters announcing a meeting early in the Fall ’07 semester. We look forward to gaining input from new voices and planning some fun and interesting events for the Fall semester.
