[Web4lib] Federated search products and Full Text/Peer Reviewlimiting

[Reiten, Beth]

 Not yet.  We've had Serials Solutions' Central Search for a little less
than a year (public since January), and we turned off the peer reviewed
filter in September and turned off the full-text filter before we rolled
it out to the public.  The problem seems to be the same problem as with
other parts of the federated searching puzzle: the lack of
standardization in how data is sent across.  It seems as though these
two nuts are harder to crack than some of the others, perhaps because
they're more optional than something like a title.

At the same time, I know this is something Serials Solutions is working
on, and I suspect they'll have it cracked in the semi-near future.

Reviewlimiting

Our library is considering adding a federated search product, and we've
got a question for those of you now using them.

In your experience, have Federated Search programs been able to reliably
limit to Full Text and/or Peer Reviewed articles?  We're especially
interested in those programs that are hosted remotely rather than
locally.
