Re: [IUG] boopsie - any experience?

[John De La Fontaine <delafo at oxy dot edu>]

Anna,

Occidental College (Los Angeles) is using Boopsie for a suite of apps
including our library catalog.

We are pleased with the searching which is optimized by Boopsie's indexing.
You do not have to type in entire words to get relevant results.
We also have a "My Millennium" channel available on Boopsie.

The major negative so far is that I have to send batches of new records to
Boopsie. We are waiting for an improvement in this regard when OCLC records
can be sent directly to Boopsie on our behalf.

If you wish to see our Boopsie apps look for "Occidental College" in the
i-tunes store.
