RDA联机版原型演示及调查

    AACR2的升级版――资源描述与检索(RDA)未来会以联机版面世,近日发布了联机版的原型演示视频,可以在有声/无声、800 x 600像素/1024 x 768像素四种方式中选择。看完后,可以参加联机调查,对用户界面及功能发表评论。

    可惜演示主页http://www.rdaonline.org/需要代理才能访问,视频则不知什么原因有代理也看不成。只能是空欢喜一场。调查倒是可以参与。视频和调查利用的是其它网站的服务,这样的方式越来越流行了。

    为看他们设计联机系统关注些什么问题,在没有看演示的情况下胡乱作了回答,很有负罪感!不过相信会有很多人参与调查,我的自然可以忽略不计。
    将调查问题记录在下面,也不枉做一回错事――单看调查,似乎就很有启示。

    以下共12个问题,每个问题下各有若干小题,1-7题均按以下四级评分:
1 Very Useful   2 Useful   3 Marginally Useful   4 Not Useful
