I want to say that the incarnations you have seen are the first look at what we hope will be engaging and educational tools for libraries. The lack of instructions at this juncture was intended in order to let visitors play and discover on their own. Once the bugs are worked out and the final versions are realized, there will be clearer instructions and the background concepts for the project. Best, John Fudrow Jessamyn,

I bombed on Within Range, especially the second level where I had to shelve a book by its topic. I like to think it wasn't me, but was a flaw in the program that didn't correctly register where I was trying to place the book. Thanks for another cool link, Jessamyn.
