by savitra sirohi 13 May '09

13 May '09

All, Wanted to inform the list members of this open source federated search technology. Pazpar2 is developed by the same organization that developed the Zebra search technology used in Koha and other applications. More information is available here: http://www.indexdata.dk/pazpar2/. The technology can simultaneously query multiple target z39.50 servers, target servers can include: - Free online databases like Project Gutenberg - Paid online databases - z3950 compliant Library Systems like Koha It supports among other things flexible rules based merging, relevance ranking, record sorting, and faceted results. Future releases of Koha are expected to be tightly integrated with this technology. We have prepared a demo at this link, the demo is configured to search 3 databases - LOC z3950 server, Project Gutenberg & a Demo Koha installation. >From the results users can navigate to the electronic resource (Project Gutenberg) or to the Koha page of the particular item. http://pazpardemo.osslabs.biz/pazpar2/jsdemo/ Suggested Search Terms: Gandhi, India or Shakespeare Please contact me for further information about Pazpar2 or our services around this technology.

Dear Professionals, Digital Research Tools Wiki <http://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/> collects information about research tools and resources, particularly in the Humanities and Social Sciences. As digital information proliferates, researchers need tools to find, organize, manipulate, analyze, and share it. But how do you keep up with the hundreds of tools that can help you to be more efficient and innovative and find the ones best for you? "Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you are looking for. This wiki provides a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool's features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers". Here is the path to conduct research more efficiently or creatively: http://digitalresearchtools.pbworks.com/ You can use and also contribute to the directory. If you feel this directory is worthwhile, then add this directory link to your library website.
