Indiana University Libraries is currently in the process of implementing Blacklight as its discovery layer on top of Sirsi Symphony. One aspect of Blacklight that must be developed locally is providing circulation status and holdings information to the user. We have developed a "web service" which provides the bibliographic data, formatted MARC holdings data (if present), and item data with current circulation information to the Blacklight system in XML.
== Open Sourcing the Dream: Making the Read/Write Library ==
* Margaret Heller, Read/Write Library Chicago and Dominican University, mheller@dom.edu
You met the Chicago Underground Library last year, now meet The Read/Write Library Chicago.It's a new name, a new space, and new opportunities to develop our catalog. We are working on creating the open source version of our ideas with a distributed team of interested volunteers, plus experimenting with innovative partnerships with the Chicago technology community. This talk will share what the team and open source project look like, what we are doing with our data, and how we finally learned to stop worrying and love Git.
