2005 Activities
This request includes four items that will be resubmitted from last year as decided at VMUG 2005. Newer items (e.g., patron histories, reserves, and OPAC cross-reference screens) need more VMUG consideration by individuals or the collective. Note also that Endeavor has a new User Centered Design initiative; very likely there will be less emphasis on the current enhancement request process. See this year's OPAC Special Interest Group handout. It says that Endeavor is "actively pursuing user-focused interface design for the Voyager OPAC. We plan to develop a new user interface prototype in 2005, with development of the new interface beginning in 2006. This new interface will be based on a new architecture and will NOT be a replacement for WebVoyàge. To learn more about Endeavor’s Usability Initiative, visit: http://www.endinfosys.com/usability.htm" (thanks to J. Thompson for attending the EndUser meeting and tapping others for information). VMUG should consider its role in this new development.
