Re: [CODE4LIB] Good advanced search screens

I think there are ways to dispense with it without actually dispensing with it. David, you've of course seen what I did with Xerxes, where instead of calling it 'advanced search' I call it 'more options'. That was of course a much simpler case--the difference between Metalib's "advanced" sear

Re: [CODE4LIB] Paper on SeeAlso linkserver protocol

Thanks Jakob, I'll check that paper out. I would also note that the open source Umlaut link resolver which I maintain also provides this sort of functionality, although just using the ordinary SAP1/2 OpenURL requests, and returning either an internal custom-to-Umlaut API format or HTML. I'm in

Hi Jonathan, PS: And indeed, mapping to OpenURL 1.0 is _exactly_ what I need to do. Sounds like I should look into L8X? There is a demo/testing site at http://www.lemon8.org ; you might want to try playing around there with some citations to get a feel for how it works without having to d
