MyLibrary

More imitation as the sincerest form of flattery.

This past week I had the opportunity to attend the Charleston Conference. During one of the sessions someone reported the results of their various usability studies. To resolve some the issues the studies uncovered they decided to create a system where people would log in and be presented with a set of suggested library resources for getting their learning, teaching, and research done. They were going to call this system My Library.

On one hand, this was sort of frustrating. I had been at this point ten years ago, and My Library was being presented as a new and novel idea. On the other hand, it is nice to see that something conceived ten years ago is still seen as a viable option today. Satisfying. Change takes time.
