[ipac] Enriched Content

[Gragg, Wendell E]

I am, but my boss isn't and she pays the bills. Maybe if the right
patron complains once it is gone....

Great info!  I think my manager is pretty well sold.  Thanks again for
taking the time to respond to my inquiry.

It would be ideal to hear from a special library RE: whether users feel
it impacts their productivity.

Our Hospital libraries tend to like it a lot.  Our museum libraries have
not subscribed but I think they would if they could afford it.  Same
with our law library.  I think patrons, in general, like to see a
catalog that is like the commercial sites they use (i.e. amazon.com).  I
think my friend at a corporate library said that his business patrons
loved it too (but that is hearsay!).

Also, SD offers content through Syndetic Sol. or Content Café.  They
both seem to offer comparable services so you may want to try out both,
before buying.  I believe the CC package is an all or nothing deal at a
decent price and SS offers discounts for purchasing several parts.
