Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen access via Google?

This happened to us at least once before, where some indexer in China scanned our whole catalog and tried to index every page causing us to run out of system resources trying to serve up all the content it was requesting. Disclaimer: I'm a lurker who is very interested in and hopeful for Evergreen's success. Our site currently uses a proprietary ILS. I don't know whether an Evergreen site has yet done this, but FWIW, another approach is to sign up for OCLC's WorldCat Local (to be rebranded WorldCat Discovery) service. Among the (apparently less-known) features included is web-scale discovery. OCLC makes its records discoverable via Google and other search services. These in turn -- via WCL -- are linked in real-time to availability information in subscribers' ILSes. cheers, - mt -- * Marc Truitt University Librarianvoice : 506-364-2567 Mount Allison Universitye-mail : mtru...@mta.ca Libraries and Archives fax: 506-364-2617 49 York Street cell : 506-232-0503 Sackville, NB E4L 1C6 We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters. -- Peter Thiel Wearing the sensible shoes proudly since 1978!

See, I am showing you. She made these words on a /page/, and a page is made of /paper/. She made the words with /writing/, that she marked down with a stick called a /pen/, with black fluid called /ink/, and she made the /pages/ join together at one side, and that is called a /book/.
