Okay. So you've heard IUCat is bad, right?
... c'mon.
If you haven't, then you've been leading a sheltered life of only keyword searches.
Well, IUCat and I have been fighting.
Because of recent events in my life, including the untimely death of my uncle in a motorcycle accident last week, I've been doing more of my internship project from the comfort of my room -- which means I don't have access to Workflows. This /should/ be okay. But it isn't.
The more work I do, the more I'm discovering that our OPAC just isn't cutting it, and this is for a /basic/ comparison project of items I know /should/ be in the catalog. I know when I can't find /any/ volumes of a series that I'm in trouble. I've tried Advanced Search, and some fancy boolean tricks to attempt to fish out the information, and while it manages to work about 65% of the time... that's just not good enough.
Maybe once we get the Blacklight search feature installed, it will be better.
... maybe?
... I can hope?
