Is there some documentation or whatever available on that API somewhere?

The Dartmouth College Beta at
http://dartmouth.summon.serialssolutions.com/ has 170,508,797(!) records
(http://dartmouth.summon.serialssolutions.com/search/results?spellcheck=true&q=),
though I have the feeling only part of it with fulltext indexed (if any).
You can handle that (Summon is using Solr as index software, correct?),
but you'll need some hardware, I guess... Throw away your OPAC, even if
it can technically handle that amount of data, you won't find anything
with typical OPAC search and sort capabilities.

We are getting some data from commercial providers as well. There seems
to be a wide range of attitudes among providers what one is allowed to
do with that data. That is an issue, sure. And it gets really tricky
when you have a data pool with different licenses attached...
