Another long team meeting today. I still can't get the hang of Friday afternoons. Not my best time. Never mind after a drink at lunchtime. And then to get back to the office to find a ton of email piled up. No chance of leaving at 5pm so (thanks to buses) might as well do another half hour. And this after staying till 6 last night. Still morning break in the new cafe with sister was good.

Team meeting included what will probably be us postponing federated searching for a bit. We had a detailed demonstration yesterday of three possible products and none of them quite seemed to do what we wanted them to do. It really feels like a technology that hasn't quite arrived yet. I wondered aloud why Google wasn't offering something to libraries that would do the trick. I think we're going to ask them now!
