Hi Emile, Lovely to have you on the list.
I realize that there is a fairly large critical mass of reviews that must be present in a system before this really works, and I've been thinking about various ways one could share review collections between libraries. Before I get too into db schemas and appropriate SQL queries, are there some downsides to having this in the system that people anticipate? Or different review'ish schemes that seem more helpful?
We've had some thoughts along similar lines - but on the basis of people who borrowed this book also borrowed XYZ. Where XYZ is a book that more than one person who borrowed book "A" also borrowed. Obviously we don't want to just hand out peoples reading lists. Does that sound like a good idea? Reviews are kinda cool, but also would require checking etc by library staff (to make sure they are not obscene etc) so I suspect might be a bit high maintenance. Look forward to your thoughts Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org
