| 18:55 | owen | I guess Katipo folks are at the conference today. I hope it's going well. |
| 18:59 | si | owen: it's apparently going swimmingly |
| 19:00 | they're the only NZ entity at the conference | |
| 19:00 | and the only one with a fur lined booth :-) | |
| 19:00 | owen | :) |
| 19:00 | kados | fur lined? |
| 19:00 | si | http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/album18 |
| 19:01 | kados | sweet |
| 19:02 | wow ... that looks way better than our booth | |
| 19:04 | owen | I came up with an opac feature yesterday that I think the patrons would love and the librarians might hate |
| 19:05 | I thought it would be cool for the opac to show logged-in patrons whether or not they've checked items out before | |
| 19:05 | So the opac search results might have a little note under certain items which said "You checked out this item on 2-01-2005" | |
| 19:05 | kados | yea ... that'd be sweet |
| 19:05 | I think there are some privacy issues tho | |
| 19:05 | owen | It would be a great way for people to see at a glance whether they've read everything by their favorite author |
| 19:06 | kados | yep |
| 19:06 | I'd like it | |
| 19:06 | owen | But it would probably never fly in this age of the Patriot Act |
| 19:06 | kados | yea ... or in this age of fear of the patriot act ;-) |
| 19:07 | have you seen A9 search owen? | |
| 19:07 | owen | Yeah, although I haven't really used it. |
| 19:08 | kados | and it said: "welcome Joshua Ferraro" (how do we know this?) |
| 19:08 | or something like that ... I was pretty shocked | |
| 19:08 | turns out they are affiliated with Amazon.com | |
| 19:09 | owen | so you didn't know that when you went there? I can see how that would freak you out |
| 19:09 | kados | yea ... I had no idea |
| 19:11 | owen | It's a good example of letting someone store data because it serves a useful purpose for you. |
| 19:12 | I can see how having my search history stored across different machines might be really useful | |
| 19:13 | Hey, they say Google has a profile on all of us based on our search history anyway, right? :) | |
| 19:59 | kados | take care |
| 19:59 | read you tomorrow |
