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.
