- 5. Elements of black comedy • Make light of serious and often Browse …. Thesauri … Controlled taboo subject matter vocabulary … stop us when you are upset • Provoking discomfort and serious thought as well as amusement in “But I can’t do field code their audience searching…” • Express “Implementation will take about absurdity, insensitivity, paradox, an d cruelty of the modern world three months!” • Ordinary characters or situations are usually exaggerated far beyond Discovery? Yes! Delivery? Who the limits of normal satire or irony knows! • Does not necessarily have the Undergrads will love it! explicit intention of offending people

How? - Cataloging services provided to “extra-systems” libraries - Vendor records - Every format, language, call number scheme you can think of (and some you would never guess) - Limits on indexes = “interesting” search results - No centralization of proxy services, e-resources budgets

Notas del editor
- Implementation/maintenance - IUBSeamless user experienceCustom linksConnectorsFull text whenever possibleCatalog extractHow it “looks”Holdings statements challengesClean up recordsongoing custom link requests -- seamless integration with everything, or at least as much as possibleworking with the extract (not very technical, mostly focusing on impact on how it “looks” - including Springer e-books, challenges with holdings statements showing, changes to data imported to clean up records)
- Lots of choices to make before you even see your implementation – my tip: go ahead and decide, let students test your initial choices, DON”T committee this first
- Even after giving Aleph catalog results as much “weight” in the relevancy as possible, they’re still not at the top
- Discovery is one thing but delivery is something else
