Comments on group discussions

• All we know Innovative Users face so many problems that III provided little or no help but stay on how the system is designed. We may spend sometime to opt for the major ones & tackle the problems with III one by one!

• HKIUG should do follow up for the questions/requests raised each year. The issues raised in 03/04 were not summarized and then sent out. Any plan to press III from the joint effort of HK and China?

• I didn't attend day 1's programme so I can't comment on III's presentation or any of the group discussion sessions.

• I only attended the afternoon of the second day, so cannot evaluate the III presentations
  I was in the Cataloging section. It was very helpful for III's product manager sitting there to answer our questions. However, for questions that III already said "the function is there", the concerned libraries should be encouraged to find out the operational steps, from system librarian or colleagues of other libraries, before the meeting. Or, find somebody with better skills to note down the operational steps. This time we have to spend time to listen to III's explanation on some issues that most attendants already know how, which is not worth.

• N.A. I only attended the conference on the second day.

• Need some more time for group discussions.

• Thank you for inviting us to attend your meeting. As a first time exhibitor I found the organization of the event excellent and you should be congratulated!

• There should be more channels to collect questions for group discussions, apart from through the HKIUG liaison.

• Time is not sufficient to host two major operations (ACQ and SER) in one discussion group. The group is too large and there is almost no time for discussion. It's better to split ACQ and SER into two discussion groups.

• Time too short for group discussion

General comments and suggestions for improvement

• I attended only the first day. I like the presentation on FRBR best. Thank you for doing this survey.

• I hope we are invited to attend next year! Kind regards. David Harling Dawson Books
  I'd like to have memo pads to write notes.

• If restricted the programs to two days, I would like to suggest to have fewer presentations so as to allow a little bit more time for the presentations, the questions and answers and the discussions.

• III had too many sessions on cataloguing related features. Should spread their presentations evenly to other topics.

• It's good to invite non-local libraries to share their experience with us.

• Maybe we need time for technical people on our side to meet with technical people on their side.

• There are NOT enough presentations this year.
