Smoke and mirrors

Lorcan Dempsey

Roy wonders if the screenshot showing works-based access below is smoke and mirrors. There is only a puff of smoke involved – really. Roy is right to note that this is not the direct response to an ‘alice’ search. It is several screens into a search (see, for example, that one of the contributors is highlighted), so some focusing has happened. It has also been prettified a little for presentation. But at some stage something quite like this will emerge, we hope!
In a sense, it is taking some of the work colleagues did in creating FictionFinder and exposing it more generally.
Perhaps it is best not to give sneak previews 😉

The technology career ladder

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
