About
SubjectsPlus sprang from the loins (more or less) of Pirate Source, developed by the Joyner Library at East Carolina University. It became abandonware, and with permission, an expanded version of this original software was open sourced and renamed SubjectsPlus. Development was undertaken at the Ithaca College Library, and now the University of Miami Libraries.

Many people have contributed to SP over the years.
Help
Oh. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. This is what I'd do:
- Check the wiki
There's a lot of information there, including troubleshooting tips. - Post to the Google Group
Most problems have been encountered before, and someone generally responds pretty quickly. You could search the archives, too. - And there are some videos on YouTube.
