Framing within CORC limits effective resource access by clients. For policy and technical consideration. The time taken to develop or edit pathfinders is at present considerable. To add sub heading or to enable a table of contents to be made involved approximately 6 web page transactions and at least 6 minutes of time, often approaching 12 minutes of actual time. Web response time for each page has been up to 10 minutes with a degree of instability because of the developing nature of the service.
Response time needs to be good to encourage both creation of guides and their use.
Uploading of guides may create a shortcut of advantage to libraries. 6 Support documentation has proved to be an impediment to some of the enhancement we have been seeking to make to guides. As the service is developing the guide is out of step with the functions available on the CORC database. Perhaps a context sensitive guide and online training program could be developed. 7 Content management in terms of quality and responsibility for guide has emerged as an area of interest.
