Searching the OPAC Using IM
Google Talk IM bot to search the AADL catalog describes a tool for a group to use to search the catalog.
Adding a new library is variously easy or difficult depending on whether your library system has a programmer-friendly way to display search results. At worst, I return a link to the search results, so that you can click through to the right search page. At best (for AADL) I return the search results as individual items so you can click through to a particular hit.Emphasis mine. Why would you have a system that would not be user-friendly to programmers?
