everyone that eIFL-FOSS is about to start our first pilot programs for
open source ILS migrations. This will include training for systems

Could you share, briefly, what this API actually does (if doing so
doesn't violate your NDA?)

Well, we haven't made a purchasing decision yet, so I don't have use for
the API yet. I'm not even certain if the situation impacts what Yitzchak
wants to do. I don't know if the people at Serials Solutions even know;
or if they do, want to say. I just thought I'd mention it so that people

My impression, from a recent conversation with a Serials Solutions sales
rep, is that Serials Solutions (or one of its 15 parent companies)
bought WebFeat, and they will be merging all the WebFeat-exclusive
connections into 360. Since we don't have either of those products, I
can't say what that m

Has that made you decide to hold off on API work with 360 search?
Me, I tend to forge forward anyway. If you're always waiting for the
next thing, you're always waiting. But I think the chances are fairly
good that the 360 Search API would remain. Does WebFeat even have an
API? Although if nob

Just as a note, before you write your code- We are in the process of
evaluating federated search tools, and one item we learned that Serials

I wouldn't be surprised either. But it's kind of important if they
actually want their APIs to be _used_ by anyone. Even if you can only
share with other SerSol customers. What's the point of having APIs if

All I use is a pen and legal size paper. Longhand is the real hacker's IDE.
Then I feed my code in via a scanner and OCR.
Python's a little tricker: needs a ruler or graph paper at the very least.
All my work is open source, give me a call and I'll read it to you.
