DDC tag cloud in an OPAC
Steven Cohen put me onto librariesinteract.info (Blog central for libraries in Australia)…must add this to my aussie blogs post.
Anyway checking out the blogroll I found Letters from Adelaide, inline with my post OPAC in a blog and library 2.0, is a post about a DDC tag cloud…check out the cloud.
From the post:
“I think it works well: you can see at a glance where our collection strengths lie. And each heading links to a Catalogue search for that call number. One thing I didn’t expect, but should have: there are quite a few Unassigned and Optional headings, which presumably reflect local practice and historical changes, so I guess I’ll need to update my tables.”

John,
you’re blog is very very rich in content.
the thing is that if i open a saved browser session of 20 pages including yours, all the other pages will be loaded and your’s is only half-way there. i noticed that you have the notes “need to make a rollyo” and “need to make a zoomcloud” in your margins. have you considered using some dhtml trickery to delay load some things until they’re selected?

Tell me about it…I have seen the 3spots post on expanding and collapsing content:
