[Web4lib] Re: Google Search Appliance and OPACs

[Tim Spalding]

Has anyone tried just making a HUGE page of links and putting it
somewhere Google will find it? Almost all OPACs allow direct links to
records, by ISBN or something else. On a *few*—I've seen it on
HiP—spidering this way causes serious sessions issues. (LibraryThing
made this mistake once.) But it might be a way to get data into
Google.
