What next? Was this Much Ado About Nothing?
50

• Feedback and positive factors
• User satisfaction
• Funding bids
• Adverts for our progress
• Open Worldcat
• Records in COPAC

51

• Actions for St Andrews
• More subject and format based feeds
• More customized subject and format listings for
  Recent Accessions lists eg IUG presentation by
  Bob Duncan at IUG Washington
• http//ww2.lafayette.edu/library/bd/iugdc/
• Iranian studies ideally we need a subject
  specialist for this material
• Film studies. More canned searches and feeds
  would be ideal

52

• Actions for St Andrews
• More analysis of what users want and how users
  are using the webpac eg Google analytics. See
  presentation from IUG Washington by Rebekah
  Kilzer
• https//kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/1811/31951/1/G
  A0804_kilzer.pdf
• Look more at stats from the system and web access
  logs
• Add more web 2.0 features. John Wenzler IUG
  presentation at
• http//online.sfsu.edu/jwenzler/research/webPAC2.
  pdf

53

• Actions for St Andrews
• More retro to get the info. into our webpacs in
  the first place.
• Film studies streaming.
• Content policy for the webpac currently this is
  our physical print and av resources and the e
  resources we purchase. Granularity eg EEBO and
  ECCO
• Integrate and adapt to federated searching
  implementation
• Sell our webpac some more
• Look at products like ENCORE

54

• System functionality
• Spellcheck not working with scoped searches
• Scope retained on canned searches from out with
  the Millennium server

55

• We should be concerned about costs and
  resources!!
• Care needed to avoid duplication of data and
  wasting resources
• Could we source the information and the
  specialist searching capabilities from external
  sources.
• But the advantages are
• Added value.
• Meaningful filters
• Efficient searching

Alls well that ends well
