Compare Filters - Compare Features
Posted by Lori Ayre on March 22, 2005
I've made some improvements to the libraryfiltering.org page that I hope you'll check out. It ain't perfect by any means but I hope you'll find it more useful.
The most important change is that you can now select the filters you want to compare AND the filter features you want to compare, then display it all in one view.
With over 55 features to choose from, I wanted visitors of the site to be able to select the features they cared most about rather than being limited to my preset views. And with over 20 filters now listed (finally Websense is in there!), it also seems important to limit your view to the products you've narrowed in on rather than being restricted to right-scrolling hell.
Sure, most people have filters already. But I figure filters are going to be like Integrated Library Systems. You'll keep them for a long time and finally, in a big, ugly migration, you'll switch over to something you're sure has got to be better than what you've got.
