[WEB4LIB] SFX and WilsonWeb

[Mike Poulin]

Unfortunately, I think it is as bad as it looks.=20
=20
It looks like they have implemented their own SFX type server with no =
customization available =97 totally misunderstanding that it has no value =
unless it can be cutsomized to the local library's databases.

We were in the process of subscribing to one of their databases when we =
saw that and some other issues in the new interface (such as the link to =
check library holdings is marked - Library Owns - and they mix legend =
icons with limit icons).  The net result was we cancelled the subscription =
until they get their act together.
=20
My impression has been that they (management at Wilson) neither understand =
technology nor interface design and are not responsive to customer input.
