eXtensible Catalog project update The eXtensible Catalog (XC) Project is developing software to facilitate the discovery of library resources on the web. XC software will provide a set of next-generation user interfaces and tools for managing metadata about all kinds of library resources, both digital and non-digital. This update will cover the range of project activities from user research progress, to software features, and development progress. The software will be released in July, 2009 under an open-source license. http://eXtensibleCatalog.org Using a Web Services architecture with Me, Myself and I We rewrote an instruction/reserves course page system and split our existing webapp into three pieces: a Fedora-based file repository, a Restlet-based service to manage campus course metadata, and a Rails app for building/viewing interfaces. Moving to three components meant a transition to a Web Services architecture. Discussion will include the pros/cons of using a Web Services architecture alone and how we chose appropriate technologies suited to each serviceâ€™s task. Expanding the discovery scope with VuFind Over the past two years, we have seen how VuFind has grown to be a resource discovery platform offering a modern search experience. The next inherent challenge is to expand the scope of content searched by VuFind to incorporate a broader representation of the library's collection. This talk will expose how I have been able to expand the scope of content searched to include the library's electronic resources as well as other library catalogs. http://andrew.webitecture.org/
