Where's MY OPAC Browser?
Text transcript from the PDF text layer
I want to sit down at the OPAC (another word that needs updated) and have it remember me, either through a login or other, simple, method. I want my bookmarks, my saved titles, my search history. I want to be able to write reviews and make suggestions, I want to add friends to my social network and let them see my reviews and what I've liked and disliked. I want a built- in, fully customizable aggregator, a to-do list, a place to take notes and save files, and I want access to this from any computer in the world, not just the one at my library. All this exists, of course, in bits and pieces -- all of it through Web 2.0. Look to Netvibes, Flickr, NetFlix, Backpack, and many other Ajax developments. Is anyone listening?
