| Thanks a lot for the info LilWahine, unfortunately even if I wanted to the work required to ask all departments for the book lists, and entering the information by hand is not quite worth the effort. It's interesting that the department level gives it to the book stores however.
I am pleased to announce that development of this feature is way ahead of schedule, I used the holiday on friday to grind out a functioning version of the entire new system. Along with the new book finder a new feature or two, and text clarifications are coming.
I'm currently shooting for final publish by feburary 27th. I may however take up to a week longer if I hit unforeseen issues in making the amazon.com book title->ISBN more accurate.
On a side note, I'm currently in debate with myself as to whether or not I also list half.com prices next to the amazon.com prices. I won't provide the details for the internal debate, but if everyone else could let me know...
Would you prefer to buy from?
A) Either amazon.com/half.com whichever is cheapest.
B) Amazon.com Preferred, they're easiest/cheaper/whatever
C) Half.com Preffered, they're easiest/cheaper/whatever
Meh... and give whatever other comments you have.
Any other small features/tweeks any one wants for the coming publish? (I'm already adding the ability to "force lecture & labs both being taken" on the schedule finder.) |
