Busy Bee
Wow, what a day. I’ve been flat out today - working like a busy bee at a laptop……
I know it’s not the best, but it made me chuckle.
Why have I been so busy? Well two more, that’s right two more, libraries have agreed to work with Talis, offering advice and assistance to extract holdings data. As if it couldn’t get any better, both of them are DS Galaxy customers.
It really is great news. I’m so pleased. It means that once we’ve had a more detailed conversation we will be able to provide DS Galaxy customers a much better solution than “speak to the helpdesk at DS, they’ll provide you with the unity.extract script then every month run the unity.update script”. It just felt like as if there must be a better, easier way to contribute and after our talks tomorrow we will know how easy we can make the contribution process.
I’m sure DS will be relieved that they won’t have to constantly write export scripts for all their customers, their customers will be able to easily contribute and rest of the library community will be pleased as they will have a broader range of locations to search. So, basically everyone will be happy.
Isn’t that nice, and to think this blog started with a photo of a bee.
