library-related ranting
Jan. 10th, 2009 05:45 pmI am waiting for lasagna to be done baking. It is arduous. ARDUOUS I TELL YOU.
Meanwhile, I am trying to do things with the local library's online catalog (the OPAC, yo.) It is THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. I do not understand why no one can design OPACs that work. I can't imagine it's that hard. Well okay, maybe it is hard - but basic functions should be there, and they should be fairly intuitive. As it is, I find they're missing such crucial and obvious details! For example:( Cut for the completely uninterested, or for people who have heard me rant about this a hundred times before :) )
