Perhaps if you exported data from lists that re likely to have items/bibs
deleted after you have collected them, you could keep an archive of data.

I have a background job that wakes up every night and screen scrapes my
reading history and lists into a local database, and updates cached
availability information -- so I don't have to worry about the problem that
Don mentions.
However, this is not a solution that scales to Minuteman's 600K+

Nicolas, this looks VERY promising! It seemingly can extract the OCR from a PDF

1.) Do you have any thoughts on extending traject to index other types of
data--say MODS--into solr, in the future?
2.) What's the etymology of 'traject'?

'traject' means to transmit (e.g., trajectory) -- or at least it did,
when people still used it, which they don't.
The traject workflow is incredibly general: *a reader* sends *a record* to *an
indexing routine* which stuffs...stuff...into a context object which is
then sent to *a writer*. We
Yep, what Bill said, I have had thoughts of extending it to other types
of input too, it was part of my original design goals.
In particular, I was thinking of extending it to arbitrary XML.
Unlike MARC, there are many other options for indexing XML into Solr

Searching compressed files is no big deal. First of all, you can always
decompress. But if they've just been compressed and not put in a tarball or
some other archive format, you can just use zgrep.
However, many if not most files are in structures that don't lend
themselves to just scanning for

We haven't planned to write our own APIs for Sierra at this point (we're
still working on getting Sierra to work in the first place), but Grinnell

My thanks to everyone who has responded to the survey so far. I am still
eager to hear about libraries of all types that have implemented or are
planning to implement makerspaces or making activities. Please respond

I'm still learning how to work with Ruby and Rails, but initial experiments are

You might want to consider using http://www.documentcloud.org to host
your users document. That would also take care of
privacy/authentication concerns. I know of a project in journalism

As far as I remember they do provide an API interface
