Hiya We're using it to add e-holdings into to our OPAC, e.g. http://library.hud.ac.uk/catlink/bib/396817/ I've also tried using the API to add the coverage info to the availability text for journals in Summon (e.g. Availability: print (1998-2005) electronic (2000-present)). I've made quite

I would rather see mail go to the main mailing list, to avoid fragmentation. I propose using naming conventions to help people filter. e.g. [LOCAL] Code4LibNorth or [LOCAL] MDV Otherwise, I'll *never* figure out what's going on anywhere. YMMV. -Jodi On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 2:54 PM, LeVan,Ralph

I wrote to-JSON proxy a while ago: http://libx.lib.vt.edu/services/link360/index.html I found the Link360 doesn't handle load very well. Even a small burst of requests leads to a spike in latency and error responses. I ask SS if this was a bug or part of some intentional throttling attempt, but

I believe that's $1000 for a five-year license, or $200 a year, for unlimited use of the data as an XML download and/or as a web service. That compares pretty favorably to, e.g., $325 / year minimum for access to RDA Toolkit. The real question here, I think, is not whether the price is right,

That's actually exceptionally reasonable for a 5-year license. They've charged quite a bit more to commercial developers that wanted to include the vocabularies in their systems for resale. I can think of other services that charge nonprofits $1,000/year for use of authorities. The
