[Web4lib] Federated Searching

[rallen at noblenet.org]

Hi Joanna

You might want to look at the Federated Searching blog for some ideas and 
resources: 

http://federatedsearchblog.com/

Also Marshall Breeding has a Library Technology Guides website which
sometimes talk about federated searching vendors:

http://librarytechnology.org/

I understand Serial Solutions and EBSCO offer federated searching
products.

Hope this is helpful

Cheers

Hello:

We currently use Webfeat as our federated system for our databases.
However, we have been having many issues with their tech support and
response time; it has been taking 2 to 4 weeks for a database link to be
fixed, etc.  I am wondering if anyone has similar issues as well as *ideas
on other federated searching systems that we can potentially use in place of
Webfeat.*

Thanks,
Joanna
