As you pointed out, WorldCat does all sorts of tricky ranking. I
believe there's a dashboard that they use for tuning the ranking.
Library holdings count, term frequencies, availability, FRBR, and
locality are all facets of that ranking.
In OCLC Research we do practically nothing without some
In Mendeley we are using number of readers to rank search results on
our catalog.
Our search index is in solr.
I don't have more fine grained details, but I could get them if people
are interested.

Hi Code4Lib-ers,
I want to chime in and say that I, too, enjoyed the streaming archive from the

I also have a question: my library has a horribly antiquated A to Z list of
databases and online resources (it's based in Access). We'd like to do

We have Metalib and use Xerxes as a front-end to Metalib, so we just use
Xerxes as our A-Z list, or directory or databases too.
But what I'd really like to do is just _use the catalog_. If there was
a good interface for the catalog, and these resources were included in

if you put the info in a Solr index, you could use Blacklight on top.

We user Xerxes too to serve up our databases A-Z list but as we have so many
databases (900 or so.) that it takes a really long time for the page to
load, as the way Xerxes is currently designed, it loads the whole A-Z list at
once. So if you have a large number of databases, be warned that
If so can you send me a URL?
Thanks much!

Yeah, as one of the developers of Xerxes, I've been meaning to fix that
long-page problem. If any other PHP developers want to contribute a patch,
please feel free. It won't take any herculean RD to fix that feature, just
