Vufind update
Loaded release 0.6 and after a couple of days we now have real-time links to Voyager on the initial display screen and the “holdings” button on an individual record display. Also, thanks to Keiji Suzuki in Ebetsu, Japan, the display of facets is now working for IE7 users.
The current testbed has just over 365,000 records. I hope to build a new test database with 500,000+ records early next week—have to take a couple days off at the end of this week so it will have to wait.
Wikiscanner
This is an interesting Web 2.0 tool. Developed by Virgil Griffith, this utility tracks Wikipedia article edits from unregistered accounts back to their originating IP addresses–which can show their organizational affliation.
This is important (and entertaining) information for those of us that rely on Wikipedia.
Virgil’s motto for Wikiscanner? Creating minor public relations disasters, one company at a time.
