1  They believe they could do a better job hosting than professional hosting services!  The most reliable and robust hosting must be done by hosting companies with big data centers built on today’s technology and located on internet backbones. This includes scalable bandwidth, 24/7 monitoring, and big-data, big-storage, cloud computing.2  They believe that everything is based on the advanced search engine itself and dive in expecting a lot of hard effort involved with migrating collections!  Today’s digital library solution is a SAAS model. Easy!  Step 1 – Easy to choose an account with the right plan.  Step 2 – Easy to ingest any digital assets and metadata files using the administrative back end.  Step 3 – Easy to upload media files, such as books, with or without OCR  Step 4 – Easy to enjoy the final product, knowing your collection is in a well- designed environment published online! Sit back and relax.

3 They believe people are only interested in search results!  Faceted searching offers faster search results than Boolean, which is becoming obsolete. Find the right results in only a few seconds with fewer clicks!  Works were meant to be discovered, used, shared, not just found only!4  They believe that Open Source is really free without considering time, skill, debugging, server installation(s), planning, etc!  Implementing open source software is a hard job. Time can be wasted trying to achieve success in implementing and debugging open source software. Why wait 3 years before launching your official digital library when you can take advantage of cutting-edge technology today?  While libraries suffer with down-time implementing their own solutions, users are left waiting to see the content!

5 They believe that design is easy (usability, flashy design, speed, user-friendly, eye-catching)! After Open Source or commercial software has been downloaded, then the real hard work begins. Design is more than just nice color and branding. It involves philosophies, corporate identities, reading priorities, usability, relevancy, editorial capability, easy browsing, and multiple perspectives for different users.6 They believe that the number of items in the collection dictates success, rather than how those objects are used! You have millions of records. So what? If nobody is visiting, discovering, using, or sharing their experience, then efforts must be done to facilitate browsing and interactivity for the end user.More on www.yoolib.comFollow us on twitter @foudyl Top 6 items to fail with a digital library software 2012 v03
