Endeca in the OPAC

The Massachusetts Library Association Conference has its own blog, and today there's a great post about how the Phoenix Public Library system used Endeca in its OPAC, and walked away from ILS-vendor-supplied OPACs.

Phoenix was aware that the browsing function was going to be a challenge. Librarians ?squawked? about using BISAC subject headings. Then one Phoenix librarian had a revelation. Book Industry Standards and Communications (BISAC) using Endeca for browsing was going to be a challenge. Used BISAC subject headings. ?Its not about us, it?s about them? It?s people speak not catalog speak.
