The OPAC and OAI


The winner of the OCLC software contest is Dazhi (David) Jiao of Bloomington Indiana for his OPAC.
CAT-OAI integrates OAI harvesting and metadat searching to OPAC search engines and expands users' discoveries in a OPAC search results to related web-accesible digital resources. Using this system, OPAC users will have the opportunity to reach the online digital materials that are highly related to their discoveries in the OPAC system.
Source code will be available soon. Seen on Lorcan Dempsey's weblog.
