Ah, programmet för IGeLU ser ut att ha fallit på plats. Nu kan man äntligen se vilka presentationer som blir av.
Jag tycker det ser bra ut. Jag inte missa Easy OPAC enhancements och “Every reader his book”: recommendations in Aleph (Matthew Phillips, University of Dundee), The wireless library – Extending Aleph with mobile services (Helene H Svihus, Sølvberget, Stavanger, Library and Cultural Center), Technologies and Techniques for Customizing ExLibris Products (Mark Dehmlow, University of Notre Dame), Now don’t panic but I think the OPAC might be dead (Peter Price, University of Plymouth)
Flera intressanta posters och förhoppningsvis några bra key-notes.
Själv håller jag i två programpunkter:
Working with webservices
Daniel Forsman, Systems Librarian, Jonkoping University Library
A general introduction to the world of webservices and some practical examples on how you can work with them. With the MetaLib/Aleph X-services and the SFX API libraries now have other means of interacting with their Ex Libris products. Webservices for libraries are rapidly becoming available and exploited for creating integrated services, this presentation looks at some of these and aims to give the audience inspiration, tools and a understanding of different webservices and what can be done.
The OPAC is dead – Long live the OPAC – workshop
Daniel Forsman, Systems Librarian, Jonkoping University Library
This session will be something different for the IGeLU conference – a cross between a lecture and a workshop focusing on the OPAC and library website. Prior registration will be required directly with the presenter. Details on registering will be provided. People who attend this workshop must come prepared. They will have to work with some assignments prior to the conference. At the workshop they should be reatdy talk about the role of the OPAC, library website, what features we want, best practices and best examples of what has been done (regardless of system). The number of people attending will be limited to 30.
