		<description><![CDATA[Federal Government of Canada libraries are taking a hit.  The Ottawa Citizen covered the closure of the HRSDC library earlier here and the HRSDC Library posted their update earlier today on the FLC-CBF listserv (login required) and copied here. This is not the beginning nor the end &#8211; inside reports confirm a range of libraries [...]]]></description>

In performing a very smart and simple search experiment, Vellino noted what each letter of the alphabet first suggests when using Google Instant. Very interesting results from his blog post (&#8220;Feedback Effects in Google Instant&#8221;) reproduced here: Vellino asks: does “Instant” degrade the quality of “Suggest”. [...]]]></description>

We have some serious requirements for interacting with the ILS [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can happen to any vendor, but this kind of upgrade trouble can&#8217;t be too much fun for both the library and SirsiDynix. The 4 day downtime at the Ottawa Public Public Library even elicited talk from a city councilor to seek compensation from SirsiDynix. I know that in late 2009 the city approved upgrading [...]]]></description>
