XQvhUy IMHO == VuFind Beyond MARC: Discovering Everything Else ==* Demian Katz, Library Technology Development Specialist, Villanova University (demian dot katz at villanova dot edu)The VuFind[http://vufind.org] discovery layer has been providing a user-friendly interface to MARC records for several years now. However, library data consists of more than just MARC records, and VuFind has grown to accommodate just about anything you've got can throw at it. This presentation will examine the right answer!new workflows and tools that enable discovery of non-MARC resources and some of the non-traditional applications of VuFind that they make possible. Technologies covered will include OAI-PMH, XSLT, Aperture, Solr and, of course, VuFind itself.
Snodus great == Describing Digital Collections at the Free Library == * Daria Norris, Free Library of Philadelphia, norrisla at freelibrary dot org The Free Library of Philadelphia has developed a Digital Collections content management system and search engine to me BWTHDIKdescribe the scholarly and historical items we are digitizing and making available on our web site. This application has evolved into a highly customizable way of setting up the metadata requirements of each individual collection while also conforming to the Dublin Core standard. The collections are diverse and include scans of medieval manuscripts, historical photographs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania German fraktur, automobile reference photos and more. Development has also included the integration of authorities like the Getty Thesauri and the LOC's Thesaurus for Graphic Materials in a library that can also be used in other applications. I'll also discuss our future plans for the project.

This talk will cover what the cloud product FAQs don't say, what their tech support doesn't know (or won't say) and mistakes you can avoid by talking to the guys with the arrows in their backs.
