I'll implement your linked data specifications into EADitor as soon as
they're ready. In fact, I began implementing Aaron Rubinstein's hybrid
arch/dc ontology (http://gslis.simmons.edu/archival/arch/index.html) a few
days ago.

What I don't understand is that many large and mid-sized libraries also
make very extensive use of LibGuides. These are libraries that usually
have a few dozen librarians and twice as many staff. You'd think that with
90+% of library resources being in electronic format now that these
libraries
Again, this not a technical issue. It's a content strategy issue.
Believe me, I was where you were. I was using all kinds of javascript and

You guys are awesome, this is great stuff, really helpful. My impression of

We are a large library with a savvy staff and while we have an established

begrudge less and less.
Honestly, the reason LibGuides is still

Regarding Library a La Carte, active development has been taken over by the
folks over at LibraryH3lp. You can read their blog post at

I've found the LibraryH3lp folks to be quite fantastic compared to
Springshare in terms of support and responsiveness, and there is starting
to be a good bit of overlap between their services. I think Springshare

offers a free

like a perfectly inexpensive and awesome choice), I would probably just max out

Hi,
The issue at public terminals is being able to switch between operating systems
with out having to reboot. To my knowledge refit nor boot camp offers this.

Why would it cost $1k++?
We have the 2.5 Ghz dual core i5 ($599 new) which we upgraded to 16GB ($131.99
via Crucial.com - no doubt there are cheaper alternatives). Runs Windows fine
in a VM (although, like you, I really only use it for IE testing).
Certainly this doesn't account for

It would cost more because you would want at least the base i7 version ($799)
if not the faster model.
We have tried the base version, and did not think that performance was
acceptable either with VirtualBox, or with the somewhat better performing

These virtualization tools run as apps in OSX. Double-click (wait...) and go.
VirtualBox is owned by Oracle, which picked it up from Sun who bought it as a
