Special librarians wanted for market research interviews

[Nick Arnett]

As I've mentioned here previously, our company (Invisible Worlds -- 
www.invisible.net) is developing a portal and software for integrating 
full-text and meta-information search and navigation.  We're also creating 
a protocol that we will propose as an open standard for distributed 
search.  The people behind the protocol are some of those who invented DNS, 
e-mail and quite a few other Internet standards.

We very much want to build software and services that meet the needs of 
librarians, today we are especially focused on the needs of special 
librarians, as the data we're offering is financial and business 
oriented.  If you'd be willing to talk with us for an hour or so about our 
products and what we should do with them in the future, please e-mail me 
directly.  If you're in the SF Bay Area, that would be particularly good 
for us.

We haven't begun selling anything yet (our first offering, EDGARspace, is 
available free right now), but when we do, we will be offering discounts to 
SLA members.  Suggestions of other associations would be welcome.  Perhaps 
Web4Lib members?
