Additional Comments and Suggestions
  1. More time is needed to discuss the problems we encounter and suggest for enhancement.

  2. Connection to Tsing Hua's Innopac failed many times in the Millennium demo sessions. III should consider choosing a local library for the demo next time. 

  3. Publicity -- need to improve further. Dr. Paul Poon came with some outdated information. Perhaps one way is to have a reminder that the most current information will be on the IUG website rather than various attached information that get sent around or forwarded. Presentations -- I hope more libraries will be encouraged to make presentations of innovative projects going on at their libraries. Breaks -- The IUG may want to consider a longer break instead of just 15 minutes. A longer break would allow flexibility if the program before the break goes overtime. I think the attendants also enjoy the chance to mingle and chat with other library colleagues. Facility: It will be useful to find a larger room next time. Even the room was big enough to hold all the participants, it was quite crowded. Time for III presentations -- it seemed to me that a bit more time should be provided. Again, I think the IUG and especially the planning team deserve a round of applause given that this was the first HK III Users Group meeting. Next time I also suggest that III's User Services head (Katrina?) be invited to come and answer the many user-services questions. Shirley Leung (HKBU)

  4. More days are needed; too short and compact. 

  5. Other add-on services/features in other sites such as Taiwan and China, especially those relevant to HK's CJK features. 

  6. More time to be given to III to clarify the special features of their products and to answer the questions from individual libraries. 

  7. The conference room is a little bit crowded. Q & A time is not enough such as the presentation on HKCAN authority records, it would be better if some discussion on the pros and cons of using 7xx. How is it different from the traditional way of establishing authority records, any difference in the web display. 3 days would be better so that discussion time was not that rush. 

  8. Each IUG member should make a report. Invitation should be sent to all libraries to see whether they would like to make a presentation. 

  9. III should have more preparation on the Q & A before attending the session. 

  10. I. The room is not desirable enough with the door at the front. Persons who choose to attend a particular topic may find embarrassing entering the room in the middle of the session. II. It would be helpful if the meeting can include more presentations by individual libraries on topics and experiences in relating to Innopac system. III. It would be also helpful if III can introduce more about their future plans and development. 

  11. Is it possible that the IUG committee can filter questions for the Q & A Sessions in the future Innopac Users Meetings? Can we request III to do some preparations for the Q & A Sessions? 

  12. Ideal if III gives more depth & breath on general issues of concern. 

  13. I. Focus-group discussion session is essential to share our experience. II. Q & A session is too brief. 

  14. I was disappointed that the Q&A sessions were almost completely limited to pre-prepared questions - in most cases there was no opportunity provided for questions from the floor.
