Sabinet Online Limited Why?

“Electronic catalogs, wherever you go in the academic world, have become a horrible crazy-quilt assemblage of incompatible interfaces and vendor-constrained listings. Working through […] a relatively small collection, you still have to navigate at least five completely different interfaces for searching. Historical epochs of data collection and cataloguing lie indigestibly atop one another.” Tim Burke, Swarthmore “ I’m to the point where I think we’d be better off to just utterly erase our existing academic catalogs and forget about backwards- compatibility, lock all the vendors and librarians and scholars together in a room, and make them hammer out electronic research tools that are Googlezon, without the intent to sell books but with the intent of guiding users of all kinds to the books and articles and materials that they ought to find, a catalog that is a partner rather than an obstacle in the making and tracking of knowledge. ” Tim Burke, Swarthmore
