Interesting Catalog tidbits

Hi all, I thought I'd pass along these two open-access catalog initiatives I happened across... The first one is called "Scriblio." As I understand it, it uses a Wordpress-like OPAC face that allows you to do things like faceted searching. Here's the link: http://about.scriblio.net/ The example that best matches our own catalog needs is the Hong Kong University's Library for Science and Technology's "SmartCat": http://catalog.ust.hk/catalog/smartcat.php <http://catalog.ust.hk/catalog/smartcat.php> The second is the eXtensible Catalog project. http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/ <http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/> I don't believe this one is up and running yet, but I think it will roll out this summer. I just thought I'd send these out as interesting fodder as we talk about catalog options in the future...they're definitely worth poking around. dan
