Access 2008, Day 4 - Moving Forward Together: a Consortial Discovery Layer
A look at Primo at TUG. The point of the exercise was not to replace the catalogue outright. However a major criteria included in the search was that this new OPAC tool needed to be able to harvest data in ways other then Z39.50. So XML & OAI for sure. It looks like some schools have gone the way of the vendor solution for the discover layer instead of Open Source.
TUG seems to be a consortia within a consortia that has really moved forward with the idea of collaboration and user services.
