Thing 17: ELM productivity

I think this could be a big help, if I could finally get through all the steps and see updates.

For personal librarian use, this is a great way to stay on top of issues. For the public library desk, being able to save searches would be helpful, although still cumbersome. Helpful for the cyclical "review of snow blowers" type questions, at least.

I'm a little frustrated with all the extra layers, however. The saving grace of many of the fast electronic tools we have reviewed and played with has been their ease of use, and intuitive set up. That is definitely missing here.

I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but why don't we make library databases easier to use?
