Online catalog faces technical problem<\/p>\n
A year ago, four private libraries in Jakarta agreed to develop a
\njoint website where the public could access the catalogs of the
\nfour libraries.<\/p>\n
Up until now, the website, www.pustakabersama.net, remains
\nunder construction.<\/p>\n
"We're having problems merging the catalogs. The job requires
\na lot of time, and we have limited human resources willing to
\ndevote time to the website," Yanti Susanti, the head of Freedom
\nInstitute library, who is also responsible for the website's
\ndevelopment, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Therefore, she said, she outsourced the project two months ago
\nto a web designer.<\/p>\n
"We expect the public to have access to the collective catalog
\nby the end of this month," she added.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, the online catalog will boast a total of
\n43,000 titles of books.<\/p>\n
"The public can search for the desired books or resources
\nthrough the planned website. The website will tell the location
\nof a book, whether it is in CSIS or Utan Kayu, for example,"
\nYanti said.<\/p>\n
She added that the four libraries did not allow people to
\nremove books from the libraries' premises, but could order
\nparticular books online. -- JP<\/p>\n
