I will be there this evening, does anyone want to borrow and of the library books?
Have the reviewers reviewed yet? If so, what happens next?
Having seen the corporate pricing of Safari, it's ridiculusly expensive. We've got 30+ RnD guys, systems and IT on the free trail and it's estimated based the prices that we've been given that it would cost the company a whopping $12,000+ per annum plus set-up fee.
It's a good system, yes, but is it really worth the expense?
If you would be spending that much you would be better off setting up a company library, thats what happened to me in previous jobs. Then use Koha to keep a catalogue, ~£8000 should buy you most of the O'Reilly catalogue and some other nice books also! Although I suppose you will have to find $LOTS to pay for the bookshelves!
Anyhow the reviews we are reffering to are the reviews of the paper books that O'reilly send us, so far we have had one. I have forwarded the review to O'Reilly and it will appear on the alug site at some point in the future...
