(Sep 12/11) The new catalogue, introduced last week, is worst than the one introduced in May, which was itself almost unusable. The library system no longer has a reliable catalogue system. Functionally, the library is now useless.
Library response: Yes, we've gone through a bit of a rough patch with our catalogues, and the timing could not have been less fortuitous, we know. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours, and we've even experienced some unexpected outages on external servers that have taken down the catalogue. Thankfully, that is now behind us, and we are making incremental improvements to the catalogue. Please bear with us through this phase; ultimately, the new catalogue will be a very powerful and full-featured tool.I am curious, however: what you are trying to do? I wonder if we can't address some specific concern. (Sep 22/11)
