That is still pretty meaningless to me. Do you mean "integration" in the sense of just having links to ebooks / ejournals hosted somewhere else, or embedding the content within the catalogue, or having the search go against the full-text of the ebooks / ejournals / databases and show up in federated results...? For what it's worth, Conifer uses Evergreen's OpenURL look-up service open-ils.resolver to check ISSNs and ISBNs against OpenURL resolvers (and caches the result as some resolvers are pretty slow); if it finds a match then it shows the result from the OpenURL resolver (including coverage information for ejournals); failing that it falls back to the located URI. And of course we use the Google Books API for embedded views or previews of books on the details page.
