NGC4LIB,
Set me straight... What viable open source alternatives do you see to
Vendor Discovery Systems such as WorldCat local, Primo, Summon, and
Ebsco Discovery? In all of these options above it seems the kicker is
the locally hosted and aggregated journal article data.
Would the only options be a solrized index of local data and fetching
journal articles through some type of federated search api and then
somehow interfiling/ranking results? Can that type of mousetrap overcome
the power of having all of that data in one place?
Examples welcome!
