Hi,
I thought I would send this again since so far I haven't heard from anyone.
Unfortunately, we don't have a great deal of money to offer, but I think this
would be an interesting project for the right person. It might even be a good
project for an LIS student or recent grad looking for something for a resume.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

OLAC (Online Audiovisual Catalogers) has been investigating the potential of
the FRBR model and a work-centric approach to improve access to moving images
for some time. We are looking for someone to make a basic but functional
demonstration end-user interface for moving images that is focused on FRBR
works and that offers faceted navigation using sample data for 143 moving
image works, 210 manifestations, and
297 items. Ideally, this will be developed with open source tools such as
MySQL, Solr and Lucene. I have some ideas about what the interface might look
like (see link below) and am looking for someone to put up something quick and
dirty, but functional and interactive so people can get a better idea of how
this might work. This may not turn out to be anything like what would work for
a final user interface, but I am hoping that it will make the potential for a
FRBR-based, faceted approach clear and make it easier for people to understand
the kinds of searching options we want to provide.
OLAC has agreed to fund $1500 to be awarded to the individual(s) who
successfully completes this project. More information on and the sample data
for this project are available at

If you are interested in taking this project on, please contact me at
kell...@uoregon.edu via email by Friday, October 22 with a list of your
qualifications, a suggested timeline, and any other information you think it
might be helpful for us to know. We are willing to negotiate on the timetable,
but are interested in having a finished product as soon as possible. Please
contact me if you have any questions.
