My interest is in starting a forum/website for issues
pertaining to usability and library electronic subscription resources.

Over and over again I am shocked at the egregious violations of basic
usability that librarians and their patrons are asked to endure by the
various vendors.
Sloppy, shoddy and unacceptable interfaces are the rule
rather than the exception.

My question is this - As far as you know, is there
already such a resource in place? (If so, I haven't located it.)

If there is not already such a creature for librarians, what are some of
the features
you'd like to see incorporated into such a site?

Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.

Sincerely,

Liz Linton
Electronic Resources Librarian
