Hello all
I've been commissioned by Research Libraries UK (RLUK) to look at the
possibility of making RLUK data openly available, and the related issues and
challenges. As part of this work it is important for us to understand who the
audience for such open data might be, how they might use

Hi,
When you talk about the OPAC, do you want them to be working with a full
ILS or really just the front-end piece? If it's just the patron-facing
search, you could probably do worse than to install Blacklight. It
probably doesn't really meet the simple criteria - there's a lot more to
it than

Amen to this! I suspect DIALOG is still being taught to believe it or not...
By the way, this looks like an awesome survey class. The headaches it
would have saved me if someone had covered this stuff 10 years ago when I
was in school, instead of teaching me how to search DIALOG!

If I needed/wanted to know what materials held by my library were also in the
HaitTrust, then programmatically how could I figure this out? In other words,
do you know of a way to query the HaitTrust and limit the results to items my
library owns? --Eric Lease Morgan
You can do an empty query in their catalog, and use the Original
Location facet to filter to a holding library. Programatically, I'm not
sure, but you'd probably need to use the Hathi files:

Hi Eric,
For on-the-fly queries there is a BibAPI. http://www.hathitrust.org/bib_api
The hathifiles, which is a tab-delimited output of the HathiTrust items, would
well for adding links to your catalog records.

Hi Eric
I used an OCLC number match to get a sense of overlap at WFU -

http://www.erikmitchell.info/2011/05/07/more-on-hathitrust-overlap/.
As I recall I simply pulled the oclc numbers from the MARC files
Ideally, you shouldn't need the hathifiles.
The HathiTrust search page links to an OpenSearch document [1], which
promisingly identifies an RSS feed and a JSON serialization of the search
results. Neither appears to work. In theory, doing as Jon says and then
appending view=rss would get you

There is a HathiTrust search API that you can use, in addition to
RSS/OpenSearch. I can look up the details when i'm back at work next week if
you can't find em googling. In fact, I think there are two seperate HT apis,
one that searches HT fulltext and one that just searches metadata.

Not an answer to your question, but if you want to share I'm curious what your
use case is where you want to limit to items your library owns.
If HathiTrust has em in fulltext -- why would it matter to your patrons if your
library has a print copy or not? And if HT does not have them in
I'm not the original poster, but I've run into this before in terms of
linking library holdings to digital versions. There are a few reasons I
can think of for doing this linking:
1) Your library is a selection of works that you think will best serve
your readers. The library catalog is not
