[Web4lib] OPAC outputs in JSON - adding opac results to google

Hi all

Recently I came across a OPAC that outputs search results in JSON,

something like
http://academic.demo.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=obama&format=rss2but
for Json instead of RSS.

Unfortunately I lost the url, does anyone know which OPAC/discovery platform
does this?

Ultimately my idea is to adapt a greasemonkey script like
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/43451 which shows Twitter results (JSON
ouput) automatically on top of google searches, but to put library catalogue
results instead of Twitter results.

Has this being done before? I wonder if this can also be done with RSS
output as well..

Thanks
Aaron
