The Opac Sucks
Lluís Agustí me pasa el siguiente video musical (por llamarlo de alguna manera), publicado ya en The Laughing Librarian:
Copio la letra:
The OPAC sucks
Recorded by: the anAACRonisms
the OPAC sucks, that’s all i gotta say
you’re outta luck if you can’t spell “Hemingway”
i’m getting bad results
don’t act like it’s my fault
the OPAC sucks, a sad calamity
like it’s stuck in 8 million b.c.
the title that i seek
is buried very deep
the OPAC sucks so bad that it’s a crime
the law is broken: “save the reader’s time”
what does it want from me?
...

New song: "The Opac Sucks".
We anticipate panel discussions at conferences devoted to this question --What sucks worse: OPACs ... or the anAACRonisms' new song, "The OPAC sucks"? Or maybe the music video for the song (which includes bonus title-and-credits music by OPACapella)?Keep in mind that your library isn't spending thousands of dollars on the song and video."The OPAC sucks, that's all I gotta sayYou're outta luck if you can't spell "Hemingway" ...Complete lyrics here.

Opac and ILS
So pretty much everyone is convinced that their OPAC sucks. With the exception of the GA system, is there anyone out there actively trying to switch to Open Source?
I admit, I desperately want to give it a go, but it’s the backend stuff that gives me pause. I would be curious if others out there are tinkering, behind the scenes, out of sight. If so, let me know…

The Plight Of The Opac
The poor, sad OPAC is certainly suffering from a massive identity crisis currently. OPACs have taken quite a bit of heat and have many in the library world chanting the mantra “OPACs sucks” repeatedly. Personally, I think the discussion has been wonderful - and is the first step in what will probably be a long and drawn out process to overhaul our library systems. Today, Peter Bromberg joined in the recent discussions about how maybe it isn’t just the OPACs that we have problems with in a post comically titled Get your head out of your OPAC. In the post, he writes: “How does the quality of the OPAC ...

JISC Developer Happiness Days (dev8D)
For my sins, I'm going to be facilitating the OPAC Community Meeting at the JISC Developer Happiness Days event in London next week.
Although we've got "OPAC" in the name, I think the session should include anything to do with library catalogues, library usage data, MARC records, federated search engines, revelancy ranking, facets, etc
We'd like to kick the session of with several "Minute Madness" talks. If you're considering coming along to the session, and you meet any of the following criteria, please add your name to wiki!

The Opac Sucks, LibraryThing inspires tattoos
Lyrics here. (From the Laughing Librarian, who also created Zen Librarian Koans; hat-tip Jessamyn.)By contrast, an enthusiastic Thingamabrarian sent me this photo of her new tattoo: Okay, I faked that. (Hat-tip Steve Cohen.)UPDATE: Comment on this post pointed out the homepage pic of the University of Wales, Newport. Gah!

Your Opac and the Suck Factor
Note: over on Techsource, I wrote about open source OPACs this month — worth reading if you’re thinking about OPACs and such. Also see Marshall Breeding’s Library Technology Reports on Next-Generation Library Catalogs.
A week from Friday, I’m giving a talk in Illinois called “The OPAC sucks” at at the Symposium on the Future of Integrated Library Systems (yes, I’m getting a little tired of the “suck” meme, but it’s my fault for starting it).
I’d like your input.
Last year I discussed some of problems with OPACs in a three-part series for Techsource, in which...

Unser eigener Opac: Library Thing & Co. in der New York Times
WHEN many people think of online social networking, they picture Web sites where the young and the restless discuss their love lives and their favorite bands. But Kathryn Havemann, 60, of Dayton, Ohio, has joined a different sort of Web-based network — one where people are linked by a more sedate interest: their book collections.
