Solid State Drives and Lucene The pairing of Flash Solid State Drives and Lucene changes the rules for responsive search-solutions. SSDs out-performs conventional hard discs in just about every area. The gap for random reads is so wide that it moves several bottlenecks from storage to processing. Read-caching becomes largely irrelevant; RAM-requirements drops together with response-times, making it possible to make random updates to large indexes with low latency turnover. We present our findings. Library Course Views at NCSU The NCSU Libraries' Course Views project, and the supporting RESTful "widget" web service, improve course-based access to library collections and services by dynamically generating library course pages for all courses taught at NCSU. Course Views leverages pre-existing data sources and employs a unique cascading content selection approach to customize content for courses. The presentation will describe the Course Views system and the use of web services to achieve scalable and sustainable delivery of library content. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/dli/projects/courseviews/
